    Question Log buttons clicked and other user activity?

    Is there a way to log all the buttons clicked on any form in my application from a central place (in the same application)?

    I have a very big application so adding code to each button click will be a very big task.
    If I can have an API function to log all button clicks on all forms, logging button name, form, etc it will help a lot.

    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Maybe API calls are not even needed?

    You would have to subclass each of your forms, and then catch the corresponding WM_LBUTTONUP-Messages

    Subclassing is pretty advanced stuff, but there are good tutorials on the net. Just have a look at google with " visual basic windows subclassing"

    Here is a small example of what Zvoni was talking about. The subclassing code here uses the BN_CLICKED notification code instead of the WM_LBUTTONUP message so that only a few controls will need to be subclassed.
