More information: Simply add this control to your form and set one property and get a whole gamut of new events such as:

• ActiveApplicationChanged - Fired whenever someone switches to or from your application.
• KeyPressed - Fired whenever ANY key is pressed
• Move - Fired when the user moves your form (I can't believe MS didn't include this one as standard)
• NonClientMouseMove,NonClientMouseDown,NonClientMouseUp,NonClientDblClick - Like the standard mouse events, only for the non client area of your form (caption, menu, frame etc)
• MinMaxSize - Fired whenever windows is deciding how to size your form...provides a classy way of restricting the minimum and maximum sizes your form can be resized to.
• MouseOverMenu - Fired when the mouse moves over a top level menu...so that you can update your statusbar message accordingly.
• WindowMessageFired - Provides access to all the other windows messages.
