c# screen capture virtual desktop

Question

Hi all,

I've found a way to create virtual desktops with c#. Now I was wondering if we can take a screenshot of a particular desktop and if so how ?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

HAve you tried the CopyFromScreen method in the GFX Object

        Graphics g = new Graphics();
        g.CopyFromScreen(  ....params.... )

Answer 2

I haven't tried it but the first thing I'd try is:

• create a new thread
• switch the thread to the new desktop by calling SetThreadDesktop
• take a screen shot
• switch thread back

might just work.
