The return value of GetPixel is a COLORREF and is a DWORD layed out like this: 0x00BBGGRR In C/C++ we have the macros GetRValue, GetGValue, and GetBValue to extract the components from a COLORREF. There's something similar in VB I just can't remember :) Mark "Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does.

You're looking for a VNC library. If a part of the screen doesn't change, why transmit it? You're just wasting bandwidth doing that. Google for "vnc vb.net[^]" and you'll find some examples. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

Yeah, I figured that much out too, hence my question of is there a work around that will allow me to do what I want. Surely there must be a way, even if it ends up being a little convoluted. All I need is a pointer to the correct APIs. So far my searches in MSDN has led nowhere. You may be right I may be crazy -- Billy Joel -- Within you lies the power for good, use it!!!

I'm pretty sure the name 'Graphics' was chosen simply because 'DirectX, OpenGL, GDI,GDI+, ASCII-ART and 3DMAX but definatly not PHP' would be a little too long.
