If you are trying to capture part of the screen, you need to take a two stage approach. First, create an offscreen bitmap, then do a rectangle copy from the screen to the bitmap. You then can use BmpGetBits to get to the raw bits of the offscreen bitmap. Using BmpGetBits to get to the actual screen of the device is unsupported -- some devices may have special characteristics on the screen which make directly modifying screen memory problematic; for example, the Kyocera QCP-6035 seems to have a split screen memory with the top part of the screen controllable by the phone processor as well as the Dragonball EZ. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
