I use this code to capture a screen in a regular VB 2005 windows app.
It works great! I found the code in google. But when I create a windows
service it does not capture the screen. It only captures a blank
graphic. Does anyone know why it will not capture the current screen?
Is something not available when running as a service? Thanks!!!

The windows service runs in it's own session. This is why you can't
make an interactive service and you can't screen capture.

I'm not sure if this is related, but:
With Windows Media Player ver 9 and earlier, you use to be able to
screen capture a running video via the PrintScreen key and the frame
that was playing at the time would show in the resulting capture. With
ver 10 (and possibly from an additional XP upgrade), you no longer can
capture the frame. All you get is a blank media player. Screen capture
of a running video on any other player that I have, here, works as
expected.
I don't recall what MS calls it, but I believe it has something to do
with their attempt to protect media licensing rights.

GWhite,
A service cannot reach (direct) the screen. (I never tried it, therefore it
was to often written here).

Try perhaps to check the "allow service to interact with desktop" checkbox.
A service is generally not tied to the desktop. It runs in its own
context...

Hi all!.
I'm trying to capture a screen shot of a window. This works good until
the window is partly or completley hidden, then i get the graphics of
what is visible on my screen (the windows that cover my screen shot
window). I have tried this in both MCF and pure win32 but with the
same result.
I know i can set the window i want to capture to the front/top with
commands such as SetForegroundWindow() and SetWindowPos(). The

Hi guys,
I have a little problem. I have a class that uses Windows API to capture a
snapshot of the screen. I have this class in a library that I include in my
projects.
When I try to use this class in a windows service, the snapshot comes up as
a black screen. Any idea why? or how do I get around it?
The class works fine if I use it in a regular windows forms application.

I know how to capture a keypress for a windows application, but how would I
go about doing it for a windows service?
Rather than having a form in focus all the time, I would prefer to have
something running in the background. There are option such as having the
form invisible (opacity set to zero) and settings it's location as -200, -200
so that it isn't on the screen, but this isn't the ideal solution.

I have a Windows Service that should pop a windows form right before logoff,

I got things working fairly well except that the user does not get to see
the form before logoff. But I know that it run properly because when I log
back in the form is there and works fine.
So the form opened and run, but windows was already in the "logoff" screen
with no desktop showing, so I missed the form.

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.
