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/ 15  9743 
Another source- http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/screen_capturing.asp
I think, the problem is that if the window is minimized or off the
screen, or if it is on another desktop which is not active (visible),
then the screen shot is not correct. Either its screenshot of the
active window or it is black bar.
Can anyone advise how to take correct screen shot even if the window is
not the active and foremost one?
Thanks a million!

When the window isn't visible, its image doesn't really exist. See

Thanks a lot, Gabriel!
I think, I should put the window in front, take a shot and restore back
to its state :)
But if i put the window out of visible area of the screen (the window
is still in front) can i capture the window correctly ?
Thx

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.
