    Is it possible to get a screen capture on windows 7 without capturing its own window?

    If I use GetDesktopWindow(), it includes the window which starts the capturing, I don't want to include that window. Just everything except the firing program. how can I achieve this?
    thanks
    Jack

    One option is to hide your window right before you do the capture.
    Also, did you check out this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...uring-an-image
    Another option might be PrintWindow(): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...er-printwindow
