How can I code desktop monitoring software?

I have to develop a tool for monitoring helpdesk agents. I can figure out how to capture keyboard events and mouse events; however I need to capture the control that emitted/consumed the event too. Is it possible to find that out?

+1  A: 

You need windows hooks to pick up the events. These are really the province of native code. Try asking again with Win32 tag replacing the C# tag.

I used the code from Stephen Toub's blog to add a shortcut to my application in the system tray. The comments were quite useful as well.
