How to capture the screen in Vista which include gadgets as well

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hello,
I'm capture the screen using following code.

HDC hDesktopDc=GetDC(GetDesktopWindow());
INT iWidth=GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
INT iHeight=GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);

HDC hClientDc=GetDC(hWnd);

BitBlt(hClientDc,0,0,iWidth,iHeight,hDesktopDc,0,0,SRCCOPY);

But I'm not getting gadgets on screen in this capture. Could anyone
please give some hint to capture the gadgets in screen shot?

Regards,
Gurmit

You need HDC for the screen, not the desktop window. Use GetDC(0)

necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

getting the gadgets in screen shot.

What exactly do you mean by "gadgets"? What _do_ you get in the
screenshot?

Gadgets on Sidebar in Vista OS. I'm getting desktop wallpaper instead
of gadgets & Sidebar.

I think the O.P. means Layered Window instead of `gadgets`.
The SideBar.exe `gadgets` are implemented as layered window.
You need to add the CAPTUREBLT flag to BitBlt.
Then, you need to rethink your need to capture the screen,
becuse your performance will take a severe hit with desktop composition
active.
