Windows gets input by messages sent to it. A global hook that captures all mouse and keyboard messages can choose to "cancel" them. That is to not send them on to the actual application it was meant for. For windows it will be like there are no keyboard or mouse events happening.

Nah, not asking too much.
I would probably have a look into adding a global hook for all keyboard and mouse messages. There is an article on code project.
