>>>About the best you can do is the active window (includes VFP desktop). Here's how:

>>>#define VK_SNAPSHOT 44
>>>DECLARE keybd_event IN Win32API;
>>>  SHORT bVk, SHORT bScan, INTEGER dwFlags, INTEGER deExtraInfo
>>>* Active Window
>>>= keybd_event(VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, 0, 0)
>>>* Windows desktop
>>>= keybd_event(VK_SNAPSHOT, 1, 0, 0)

There's no reference to such in the SDK, so my reaction is that there isn't a way to do it without going through a number of API calls to get a device context, do a bit block transfer, and build the necessary structures to create a bitmap. Can it be done in pure VFP? Yes, but not as easily as the snippet above.

George and Klas,

I have a theory that you might want to try. If VFP is running, GetActiveWindow() returns the VFP main window. I haven't tried this, but GetWindow() might be able to return a handle to the active form -if- the active form were a real window (I don't think it is) and on top, and seen by Windows as a child window of VFP, by something like:

DECLARE INTEGER GetActiveWindow IN WIN32API
DECLARE INTEGER GetWindow IN WIN32API INTEGER HWND, INTEGER uCmd
#DEFINE GW_CHILD 5 &&See WINUSER.H
nHandleOfZOrderTop = GetWindow(GetActiveWindow(),GW_CHILD)

You could try passing that to keybd_event() as an experiment.
