How can I get the mouse button state in a console application?

Question

C++ / C#

It does not suit me

if ((Control.MouseButtons & MouseButtons.Left) == MouseButtons.Left)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Left mouse down");
        }

because I need to know this globally, even when the application is minimized.
Tried this:
Mouse.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed
but for some reason it always returns false.

Then you need to look towards any global hooks.
