How can I get the coordinates of a click on the screen

Question

i'm trying to automate some actions with a c# bot. The program should work in this way:

a. the user add actions to a list of actions that the bot will use after the setup. b. for example the user add the "auto-click" action. c. then the program hide his window to let the user click and get the coordinates.

Now, I know how to hide the program window but I don't know how to manage how to get the coordinates of the screen when the user clicks. do anybody know how to achieve this?

Edit: my question is a bit different from the one posted below, i'm not trying to detect mouse clicks in the main form...

Use something to hook mouse clicks to get the coordinates of the mouse like this : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/7294/Processing-Global-Mouse-and-Keyboard-Hooks-in-C — Hatted Rooster, Oct 15 '14 at 10:07
