I'm in the process of writing a little screenshot utility, and I've hit a snag. I currently take a screenshot of a frame via the usual method of building the various DC's, BitBlt'ing and so on, but the problem I have is that I'm trying to grab screenshots of windows that are obscured by other windows (so as to not disturb the current z-index of all windows as they stand).
I was beginning to feel that what I required would not be possible, until I found an article at CodeProject (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/CapturingMinimizedWindow.aspx) that basically had what I needed (and was also for the most part all win32api calls, even though the author used C#). As far as I could tell, apart from some simple registry/bithacks, the author makes a call to PrintWindow(), and that's where my hunt went cold - I cannot find PrintWindow in the wrapped win32 stuff. This is all a really long-winded (my apologies) way of asking if PrintWindow *is* in Pythonwin, and if not, that's fine - I just need to save my sanity from hunting for something that isn't there :) (The only reference I could find to PrintWindow in regards to the win32 api being wrapped was from a mailing list thread for Tcl in 2006 - the author mentions it isn't wrapped due to CPU concerns).
