Finding Mouse position from a click outside of form

[Rustatic]

What I am currently trying to do is have the user press a button, upon pressing that button, the cursor turns into a crosshair. Wherever the user clicks next is the point recorded in the code. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Rustatic. The .NET Framework doesn't allow you to do it directly, but you can add an 'Hook' using User32.dll.

Here are some resources that should walk you trought it:
