Calling eventhandler by clicking anywhere inside frame

Lets say I have a TFrame with a few panels and some smaller controls.
Now I want to click anywhere inside the frame, even on a child
control, and have always the same event reacting and say: "Clicked!".
(In reality, assign the frame to a CurrentFrame variable so I know
what frame instance is selected)

Is it necessary to assign the eventhandler to each and every control
inside the frame, or is there another way to solve this?

Select all components on the frame, then create the event. This way
you will have a single OnClick. I don't see why this should be a
problem?  Another windows only solution is to hook the mouse.

Thanks, I missed the obvious. 

I was focused on stuff like keypreview which doesn't look for
mouseclicks and that got me confused.
