Is there a windows message that I can use that lets me know when the mouse moves on the screen. The detection must be for the whole screen, not just the gui like 0x200 WM_MOUSEMOVE.

Many thanks

Thank Bobo, though I meant without the need of a timer - just catch a system message upon mouse movement

Thanks, but that only works if the script gui is activated. Is there any way that the whole screen detection can work in the background?

Thanks

I guess you didn't try the script, since it does indeed work when the script GUI is not activated. In fact, it does not even have a GUI. Rolling Eyes

Yes I did try it out, and that's what I thought too, since it doesn't need a gui to work. Now I think the problem is when I activate Notpad++ and left click, it seems to stop the detection process, and if I left click again on my primary monitor (I have 2), it starts the detection again. If I then click anywhere in Notepad++ on my secondary monitor it stops the process again until I then click on my primary monitor. Any ideas why?

Does it happen only with Notepad++? I guess Notepad++ is doing something that prevents the hook from working properly. I'm not sure anything can be done about that...
