These two functions are generally used in graph capturing. I have provided a detailed comment, very understandable ////////////////////////////////////// ////////////// copyscreentobitmap (lprect) {HDC hscrdc, hmemdc; // screen and memory device description table hbitmap, holdbitmap; // bitmap handle int NX, NY, nx2, ny2; // int nwidth, nheight; // bitmap width and height int xscrn, yscrn; // screen resolution // make sure that the selected area is not an empty rectangle if (isrectempty (lprect) return NULL; // create a device description table for the screen. hscrdc = createdc ("display", null); // The device description for the screen.
