(also have a look at the Demo app included with the source)

How does it work?

This library attaches to windows global hooks, tracks keyboard and mouse clicks, movements and raises common .NET events with KeyEventArgs and MouseEventArgs, so you can easily retrieve any information you need:

• Mouse coordinates
• Mouse buttons clicked
• Mouse drag actions
• Mouse wheel scrolls
• Key presses and releases
• Special key states

Additionally, there are MouseEventExtArgs and KeyEventExtArgs which provide further options:

• Input suppression
• Timestamp
• IsMouseDown/Up
• IsKeyDown/Up.
