GetDesktopDC?

Hi!

I want tot know if there is any function to get
the desktop DC, and load it before my form goes up?

My target is to make a picture with a white back, and
then use SetPixel and GetPixel to make the white part
transparent.
understand me?
If there's other way of making it, tell me...

Thank you,
Arie.

Code:

---

Private Declare Function GetDesktopWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function GetDC Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long


Dim deskWnd As Long
Dim deskDC As Long

deskWnd = GetDesktopWindow()
deskDC = GetDC(deskWnd)

---

And Sastraxi is right, use BitBlt instead of Get- and SetPixel, it's much faster...

err use GetWindowDC not GetDC...

GetDC always worked fine for me...

GetwindowDC returns the dc to the client area of a window while GetDC returns the DC including the non-client area. You can also use GetDC to return the screen device context by passing a null:
ScreenDC=GetDC(0)

Also, you have to use ReleaseDC to free up the resources after you.

Seems like noone cracked your numbers yet huh? ;)

yeah, that's odd, it's not encrypted or encoded in any way

I posted something in Chit-Chat!

Is it your VB serial number??? (or C, Java, Interdev, Studio, ???)
