Hi JD,

yes I am, but this is a project where several programs are automated.
The screenshots must be taken for logging purposes. Nobody sits in
front of the computer. I guess I could of course simulate a user
pressing Alt+Shift+PrintScreen but that doesn't seem to be the major
problem. The current state of the computer, before taking the
screenshots, is completely unknown. It's unknown what window is in the
foreground, whether its blocking, which app crashed etc..
So I thought it would be more comfortable if I simply could tell a
window 'draw into this bitmap' instead of switching each window to
foreground and taking 'screenshots'. With Alt+Shift+PrintScreen I also
had to bring the windows to the foreground first.

thanks for the input,
Nick
