What do you mean by 'first Desktop Image byte'?
Did you save the screen to a .BMP?
The only way you can access Desktop graphics directly is through the creation of a DC and associating with the desktop. Is this what you mean? I"m confused. :D
first desktop image byte = the blue byte of the first desktop pixel. maybe i am missing something obvious.
I was able to bitblt the desktop into Form image and send to array with GetBitmapBits
