Detect mouse movement, Excel-VBA

There are no events generated in workbook or sheet when mouse moves over an excel window. But it is obvious that excel 'reads' mouse movement since we can attach a comment to a cell and display it when mouse hovers over that cell.

What is the simplest way to continuously monitor the mouse movement and display it in a cell? It is possible to get the mouse cursor position using GetCursorPos DLL function but it needs to be called every time the mouse moves and there is no way to know when mouse moves.

That needs of using a lot of API calls for subclassing Excel window and at the end, the code may not be stable while working for different versions of Excel architecture and OS.

But if you can tell why you need this, different alternatives may be offered to you.

I do not feel that this thread will not receive much attention though this thread is not exactly solved. I would like to pose the question in more precise words. But, kindly tell me, how I would mark this thread as solved?

Thanks for the help.
