Sounds tricky.
I guess you could use GetCursorPos(), and then use FindWindowEx() or similar, and find all the active windowhandles.
You then could check if the mousecoords are within any of the windows.
Just my suggestion, I've never tried anything like that..
This sounds like it would fall under the subject of Hit-Testing. I think if you do some searches using that term you will find what you are looking for.
