GetPixel() always returns 4294967

[lavallee16]

Hi! I'm trying to make a program that detects a pixel color at the mouse position but it always returns 4294967. I've tried making clipping regions and bitmaps but I don't know if I'm doing it properly or I've somehow offended GetPixel() and now it is doing this to spite me. Just WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CODE? Sorry and thank you for any help!
