bitmap from a form

[dblay]

does anyone know how to get a bitmap of a form (of what the form should look like), from a form. I have a program where I want to blend the image of the form with another picture. for now, i have a image of the form staticaly put into a picturebox. the problem is if the form has data that can visibly change, my imaged doesn't work. i'd like to be able to get a picture of the form on the fly.
any ideas?

Thanks

It's applicable to the desktop but you can play around with it to be applicable to your form then just use a timer to refresh it every now and then. If you need any help with the api's just give me a shout. [email protected]
