Graphics Help

[winapi]

Hi,
I'm developing a program for work that need to capture the current screen and save it as some sort of graphic file (like a screen capture). I think there should be some kind of api routine that will do the trick, but I'm not sure. Please Help
Thanks

Hi, I took this code from one example from this site but add the save feature.


Private Declare Function GetDesktopWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function GetDC Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function BitBlt Lib "gdi32" _
(ByVal hDestDC As Long, _
ByVal x As Long, _
ByVal y As Long, _
ByVal nWidth As Long, _
ByVal nHeight As Long, _
ByVal hSrcDC As Long, _
ByVal xSrc As Long, _
ByVal ySrc As Long, _
ByVal dwRop As Long) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim A As Long
Dim s As Long
Form1.AutoRedraw = True
Form1.ScaleMode = 1
A = GetDesktopWindow()
s = GetDC(A)
BitBlt Me.hDC, 0, 0, Screen.Width, Screen.Height, s, 0, 0, vbSrcCopy
SavePicture Me.Image, "image.bmp"

End Sub
