CaptureBmp() : Is it working?

[matthias]

Hello,
I'm trying to use the CaptureBmp() function but it captures only blank screen.
So here are two questions :
Does abybody deal with this function in a good way?
Is there any solution to capture the screen directly in memory?
thanks.

CaptureBmp() seldom works correctly.
Sometimes creates wrong bmp file, sometimes results in crash of the program...
For capture of the screen you should write your function. Use [url="http://www.networkdynamics.net/PCForm.html"]PocketC CEAPI library[/url].

I did use in my program and it worked fine.

It depends on another part of the program.
In some programs it always work fine.
In other programs always creates a file with wrong heading (such file can not be viewed).
I have three results:
- works fine
- creates a file with wrong heading
- crash of the program ("... illegal operation... and ... will be closed...")
.
Obviously I tried to replace CaptureBmp() to my function for exception of possible mistakes in other part of the program...
