Implementing Screen Capture

The Screen Capture libraries provide methods for capturing all or part of the screen into a bitmap. For a list of required DLL's, refer to Screen Capture Files To Be Included With Your Application. You can capture FullScreen, ActiveWindow, ActiveClientArea, MenuUnderCursor, WindowUnderCursor, SelectedObject, MouseCursor or Wallpaper. You can capture a particular area of the screen in any of the following shapes: Rect, Square, RoundRect, RoundSquare, Triangle, Ellipse, Circle, Polygon or FreeHand. Icon, Bitmap, and Cursor resources can be captured from 32-bit Windows EXE and DLL files. Captures can be tied to a HotKey combination, can be delayed, and can be repeated with a specified interval. By default, most capture operations are tied to the F11 key. For information concerning which capture methods use F11, refer to the individual methods.
