Christian,

First, you're welcome.

Second, it sounds like part of the problem is the fact that it is a non-VFP window. I think that you might need to add a call to the GetWindowRect() API function. This should return the correct left and top positions for the window. If I recall correctly, there's a call to the function that you can use as an example in the project.

One last note, Obj2Bmp uses bit block transfer of the image on the screen and, therefore, cannot transfer a portion of the window that is not displayed.

I've been playing around with the idea of directly adding the capacity to capture non-VFP windows and their objects, so if I think of anything else, I'll post back.

Thanks for the feedback,
