Hello Everyone, If I have a handle to a window, how do I take a screenshot of any new child windows when they show up? Right now I have code that takes a screenshot every .1 seconds of a windows form. When I click on a drop down list box the subsequent screenshots do not include it. Using spy++ I can see that a new child window was c...

Application.Current.RootVisual.KeyDown += Application_KeyDown The above does not work if I'm on a ChildWindow - that was instantiated in runtime.
