Hi,

From the information we gathered, Andreas has provided us with some functions that effectively work just as they do in BlitzPlus!

Additionaly, I figured out how to Blit from any window into a buffer, so a good day all round!

Snippet
[code]
; Assuming 32bit..
; 'temp' is the Bank pointing to our imagebuffer()
; the color bits are copied to it :)
hdcNew=api_CreateCompatibleDC(Bhdc) ; New Device Context to hold the Bitmap
hBmp=api_CreateBitmap(512,512,1,32,0) ; The Bitmap we'll Blit to
api_SelectObject(hdcNew,hBmp) ; Select the new Bitmap
api_BitBlt(hdcNew,0,0,512,512,SOURCE_HDC,DestX,DestY,SRCCOPY) ; Blit to the new bitmap
api_GetBitmapBits(hBmp,512*4*512,temp) ; Copy the Bitmap Bits (color!) from Bitmap to temp (our image buffer!)
...
free up HDCs e.t.c..........
[/CODE]

Cya!
Tom
