Capture Desktop Window

[faisalkm]

Ok.. i know how to capture the desktop window with Bitblt. But the problem is that I don't want my form with it.

When I capture the Desktop Window..the image of my form is also captured withit and I want to avoid that..How can I do it?

Try something like this

Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, ByVal bScan As Byte, _ 
ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long) 
 
Private Const VK_SNAPSHOT = &H2C
