Hi Bo,

In the samples of GdiPlusX we've added some cool samples showing how to capture onclient window too. Just check for "Capture.Scx"

To store the pictureVal of the captured variable, using the GetPictureVal function is the easiest way, as follows:

cMyForm = oImg.GetPictureVal(Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
