See Saving a Drawing to a Bitmap File[^] (Its with MFC but I think you can convert to Win32).

[codeII]

#include "atlimage.h" bool SafeDcToBmp( const CDC& cdc, LPCTSTR cBitmapPathAndName ) { CImage image; CRect cdcRect; bool bSucc = false; if( cdc.GetWindow( ) ) { cdc.GetWindow( )->GetClientRect( cdcRect ); image.Create( cdcRect.Width( ), cdcRect.Height( ), 24 ); ::BitBlt( image.GetDC( ), 0,0, image.GetWidth( ), image.GetHeight( ), cdc.m_hDC, 0,0,SRCCOPY ); bSucc = ( S_OK == image.Save( cBitmapPathAndName ) ); } return bSucc; } //Usage CDC cdc; cdc.Attach( GetDC( )->m_hDC ); SafeDcToBmp( cdc, _T("c:\\MyFile.bmp") ); cdc.Detach( );
