I am sorry the question was not clear. ok when i pres on the snapshot key i want that the screendump to be saved. there is a kinde of hook in the clipboard event that i can tap in but i cant find out how it works. WMDrawClipboard i found on msdn but the explenation is not clear. and cant find a soutable code sample fore VB.NET

The reason there is a .NET framework 1. That all apps wil run on all pc's with the .net framework :) 2. You don't have to download huge files to get a .net application becouse all that is in the 20 MB .net framework. 3. Apps will work with all windows platforms with 1 code. So you can't compile the framework in you app. you can let the installer install .net framework read the help in VS.NET

Hello, I am writing a program and i need to catch the change clipboard msg to start a event. The program is a ScreenDump program so you will understand this short qeustion. I know how to put and get data in or out the clipboard. maybe you can give me a code sample on how the change clipboard msg works after pressing toe Snapshot key. thank you in advanced. Jordan2000
