回答1:
To get the messages that are sent to windows programs you have to install a hook in order to listen to the messages you want. You do this via the SetWindowsHookEx function.
However, I believe that you should read a book about this kind of behaviour, since there are certain rules you have to apply. For instance, before returning from your callback function, you have to call CallNextHookEx in order to let the other hooks handle the message. This is the first hit in books.google.com when searching for setwindowshookex.

Normally your application won't receive Windows messages for other applications (this can be a security problem, for example with keylogger spyware). However, the CBT Hook method can be used to install a hook that receives other window message inputs.
However, note that a Windows feature called UIPI can cause problems with CBT hooks.
