Notified when other top-level windows open

Is it possible to get notified in my C# application when a top-level
window is opened at another application? By top-level window, I mean
main application windows, dialog boxes, pop up windows, the sliding
notification window of Windows Live Messenger and so on. I need to get
window handles for them. I think I might be able to do it by using
some Win32 API, am I right? But I have no idea yet. Please let me know
any helpful APIs available. Thank you.
 
Sin Jeong-hun,

You might want to look into create a windows message hook for the
system. You should be able to intercept the WM_CREATE windows message and
work from there.
