Hello I am trying to write a Screenshot Program with the ability to grab animations to be exact i only want to take screenshots of a portion of the Screen, but as often per second as possible. The buildin DirectDraw screengrabber is not really an option, since copying the whole screen to the clipboard and reading it take to long, since GetPixel() doesnt seem to work with DDraw, i dont really what to do. If anyone could help me with a piece of advice , an url to some api calls, i would appreciate it . thank you for reading my post fangart@gmx.de
