2 problems: GetObjectAPI and GetCurrentObject

[CVMichael]

OK, i'm posting here, since no one seems to look at my thread in the API forum...

Problem 1:

Debug.Print "HDC " & GetDCEx(GetForegroundWindow, 0, DCX_WINDOW)
    Debug.Print "HDC " & GetDCEx(GetDesktopWindow, 0, DCX_WINDOW)
    
    Debug.Print "OBJ " & GetCurrentObject(GetDCEx(GetForegroundWindow, 0, DCX_WINDOW), OBJ_BITMAP)
    Debug.Print "OBJ " & GetCurrentObject(GetDCEx(GetDesktopWindow, 0, DCX_WINDOW), OBJ_BITMAP)

This is what the previous code returns (on my computer):

HDC 2097221708
HDC 1610680699
OBJ 17104950
OBJ 17104950

How come the GetCurrentObject API returns the same object as the GetDesktopWindow's bitmap object ??

When I get the picture of the ForegroundWindow, it is actually the DesktopWindow, how come ?


Problem 2:

Dim dBitmap As Long, dBMP As BITMAP, HDC As Long, ret As Long
    
    HDC = GetDC(GetForegroundWindow)
    dBitmap = GetCurrentObject(HDC, OBJ_BITMAP)
    
    If dBitmap <> 0 Then
        ret = GetObjectAPI(dBitmap, Len(dBMP), dBMP)
        Debug.Print ret, dBMP.bmHeight, dBMP.bmWidth
 
' .... the rest of the ode...

The GetObjectAPI ALWAYS returns 0, and dBMP variables are 0 also, how come ?
