Old news but worth noting Graphics.FromHwnd and Spy++
-
I went looking for a resolution to a small problem with using Graphics.FromHwnd and getting an OutOfMemory Exception. It turns out if the handle number that is entered is invalid, then this exception is thrown. If you are using Spy++ to retrieve handle numbers keep in mind that these numbers are in Hex and need to be converted to base 10 format if you want this to work or try something like this TryParse statement to convert the Hexadecimal numbers for you.
int.TryParse(textBox1.Text, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier, null, out _int)
nothing

If you have something like this that you feel worth passing on to other members, you should do so at Tips/Tricks[^].
