Hello-
I am interested in writing an application/extension that will intercept events from ALL windows- for example, when a used clicks on the collapse button in any open window, i want to know so that I can call my own function rather than the default one. Is there a way to replace the standard toolbox function for this with my own, or is there some way for me to receive these events in other windows that belong to other applications? Is the best bet to make some sort of system extension or an application? Thanks
