I have a C# program launching an external process, say notepad. I have
the process hidden from the user, and want to be able to take
screenshots of the hidden program. I have searched around and found
people using Printwindow() with a pointer to the application, but every
time all I get is a black window...anybody know how to do this
correctly?

Thanks

David
 
You could use the CreateDesktop API to create another desktop to run this
application on ... you could then do your print screens etc from this other
desktop (never exposing the desktop to the user)

Cheers,

Greg
