> Hi, how can I "grab", get acess to the root window? > i.e. the background screen, which I assume is a window of some kind. You can call CreateDC for the device DISPLAY. This gets a DC for the entire screen device. The "root window" as such doesn't exist in MSWindows as it does in X. --Bill Turner (bturner@hp-pcd.hp.com) HP Corvallis Information Systems
