    Hi...is anybody can help me with my problem.
    I want to make an application using vb5. When my application
    running, all it can do is taking the picture of the active
    window (whatever it is), and using it as its starting
    picture, maybe takes the picture and puts it in its starting
    form (the application is more like a screen saver)
    Thanks.

    This wont work if you have any windows on top of your active window: Use GetDC to create a dc out from your foregroundwindow (getforegroundwindow) and then use bitblt to copy it over to your window. Then use ReleaseDC to remove the handle.

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
