How do I grab the pointer (similar to X's XGrabPointer), such that all mouse events will be sent only to my component that has the grab, until I relaease the grab?

I want to initiate the grab, then allow the user to go anywhere on the screen and click somewhere; I will capture the location of the click and do something appropriate, depending on where the click occurred.
