How Print Screen pragmatically?

[Samuel_James]

Hi

I just want to know how to capture a portion of monitor screen pragmatically without pressing the printscreen button.  Is there any way to capture the screen without simulating the keyboard keys. Is possible can you tell me which dll does this in windows. 

Thanks & Regards

What do you mean by this? Now, it is starting to confuse a bit...

Without simulating the keyboard keys some dll will capture the screen and gives the data directly. I want it like that.

Hi samuel Ja...,

yes it's possible with some GDI functions.

- createcompatibleBitmap

- createCompatibleDC

- selectObject

- BitBlt

- GetDiBits

- GetBitmapBits

- DeleteDC

- DeleteObject

and min two functions from user32.dll

- GetDC and

- ReleaseDC
