If you’re using Windows forms .NET, add the following to your main application form:

protected override void OnControlAdded(ControlEventArgs e)
{
    e.Control.Click += new EventHandler(Control_Click);
    e.Control.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(Control_KeyDown);  
    base.OnControlAdded(e);
}

void Control_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    // Hande all keydown events, sender is the control  
    Debug.WriteLine( sender.ToString() +  "  -  KeyDown");
}

void Control_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Hande all click events, sender is the control  
    Debug.WriteLine(sender.ToString() + "   -  Click");

}

protected override void OnControlRemoved(ControlEventArgs e)
{
    e.Control.KeyDown -= Control_KeyDown;
    e.Control.Click -= Control_Click;

    base.OnControlRemoved(e);
}

Just add any extra events you require (such as KeyPress, MouseEnter, MouseDown etc) in a similar manner. This is a bit cleaner and simpler then delving into the Windows API.
