i have one application running remotly and want to take its window snapshort
at any given time,
Here is a code i wrote

public Bitmap GetPicture()

{

Bitmap sbmp = new Bitmap(1000, 1000);

Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage( sbmp );

System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs pe = new PaintEventArgs(g, new
Rectangle(0, 0, 1000, 1000));

this.InvokePaint(this.picturebox, pe);

g.Dispose();

return sbmp;

}



problem with this code is that it works fine with picture box, but if i
specify this (current form) or any user control or IE webBrowser control i
dont get any thing back its just blank.

requirment is that it should be able to get snapshot even window is
minimized (or even hidden).

Thanks,

Sajjad
 
Try sending a WM_PRINT message to the control. If it supports the message,
it will print itself to the DC
