Windowevents from other applications?

[Themuppeteer]

Hello,

This question comes more or less out of my previous post.
I figured that I should be able to catch events from windows other then my application. So I implemented the WindowListener interface but it only gives me events of the active application. I want to go beyond that..
The more I search , the more I start to think it is simply not possible.. Can anyone confirm ?

It is not possible using a pure Java solution. It can be done with JNI and C++. Also, you will only get events fired from the window that the WindowListener is connected to. So if you had 2 Java windows, both have to have a WindowListener in order to receive events from them. Hope it helps!
