VC.NET: "import" some pixels from underneath a window

In VC or VC++, suppose I have a simple window (a form). Is it
possible from that window to "see" what's underneath a particular
pixel?

Basically, I want to "import" some pixels underneath my window,
depending on color (or some other, similar properties).
For example, say I want to incorporate and display all green pixels
that may be underneath my window.

Can this be done? Thanks for any links or other information about
this.

Not directly. The pixels that make up a window cease to exist they are
obscured.

However, you may have some luck with the WM_PRINT message, assuming
you're using Windows XP. Sending this message asks a window to draw
itself into a DC that you provide.

So for example, my control would...

from Tkinter import * win = Tk() If I type those two lines at the command prompt (in WindowsXP) I get a new window on my screen. Yet if I copy those lines in a file called test.py and then run "python test.py" at the command prompt I am returned to the command prompt and nothing shows up on the screen. Is this normal behavior or is it a bug?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
