Capturing Screenshot in 256 colors in C#

I'd like to know how to capture a screenshot of the desktop in 256
colors (8 bits) instead of the default 32 bits. If possible, please
include some sample source codes as i have tried searching high and
low for a solution but can't seem to find one.

I'll be frank: what is the point? The use, and usefulness, of a set of capturing parentheses in a regular expression is clear. However, isn't an expression such as "/(?:x)/", exactly the same as "/x/", or is the former a better way of including a literal substring within an expression? I know there must be a valid reason for including them, but I'm not seeing it at the moment. Mike

Hi, does someone know, if it's possible capturing the content of a panel, when its form has state "minimized"? Details: A panel contains a Webbrowser object (AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser). My actual application automatically navigates to some websites, makes a screenshot and transforms them into small thumbnails. At the moment I'm using the imported function BitBlt from gdi32.dll. This solutions only works, if the

I want to be able to capture a screenshot of a windows form that is hidden. My goal here is to create a form of any particular size (the size could be larger than the screen), get a screenshot, and save it to a image file. I know how to capture a screenshot of a form but unfortunately if part of the form is "off" the screen, then the area that is not on the screen is "black" in the file. Hope this makes sense.

Hi, Can anyone suggest working sample of capturing a window's picture? I tried a few, but couldn't get the image. I don't know why those functions are not getting the image. Note: I want the snapshot of the window even when it's not visible. And, I work in "C#". An example: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/4630/

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
