We can get the number of raw input devices without having any extra windows. That InitRawInput function can be used without the C stuff. And we couldn't really use pipecom for the idea you have.... However, we could use my code that allows two programs to talk to one another. But it won't really work since that raw stuff only keeps track of the mouse when in the boundaries of the window that is tracking that message. Also, even if we made a maximized window that was clear, any interaction with another window will pause this transfer of information as it will no longer be tracking the mouse. The window has to be the window that is currently in focus in order to receive this. Brainstorming....brainstorming....brainstorming.....
Ask me about Windows API and maybe some Linux stuff
