is it possible to capture a screen in background / in other desktop?


GetDC/GetWindowDC can only capture on screen,visually, stuff and not
for screen in background

If I execute an exe in other desktop, by CreateDesktop/SwitchDesktop, it
requires to actually switched into it in order to capture correctly.
