Hi!

I would like to make a program for MS Windows which would
enlarge (magnify) part of the screen to the full screen.
But the user should be able to use other programs on screen
the same. Something like this: user works in some program,
wants magnification, runs my program which magnifies part of the
screen, works on and sees everything magnifed, than exits my
program (with some key combination) and works on.

I know how to capture the screen but how can I capture the
screen and draw magnified image over the screen and than not
capturing this magnified image (I would get recursive
magnification) but screen under magnified image while mouse
and everything is still under? So how can I capture the screen
something like overlay it over without any program and Windows
notice it.

Please help


Mike
