Screenshot of a hidden window
-
Does anyone know how to get a screenshot of a window witch is hidden (WS_VISIBLE = 0). I tried to send WM_PRINTCLIENT to that window, but it doesn't seem to work. I realy need that window to draw itself somehow into a device context I specify. Please tell me if you know something about this. Thanks

How about making it visible for only a few milliseconds and take a screenshot meanwhile?

Be aware that some windows simply can't be made visible. They have no paint routines and/or incomplete settings for the window creation itself. While not as common under Win32, it is still sometimes the easiest way to do some things. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke
