Yeah. I meant to put GetWindowsDC in not GetDC.
I'm not sure I understand exactly what your after.
If you want to trap the entire screen just go
theDC := GetDC(0);
Image1.Canvas.Handle := theDc;
If that doesn't work or not what your after give me a yell.
Cheers
Jim

Subject: Re: RE: [DUG]: Copy Screen to Clipboard
Thanks James for a very prompt reply -
Unfortunately, The first method doesn't seem to work (I end up with nothing
in
my TImage) and I don't want to trap the Print Screen keypress, I want to do
a
Print Screen under software control.
I want to start a program, which when the main form comes up, displays what
was
on the screen before the program ran. I want it to look like the actual
screen,
but only be a TImage.
Sorry if I wasn't clear to start with...
All I want to do is like... Perform(VK_HotKey,0,0) where the hotkey is the
PrintScreen action....
Laurie..
