Are you ok with compiling a DLL? If not lemme know and I'll whip one up.

This code will blit from any HWND direct to a BB Image

BBDECL int BBCALL BitBlitHWND2Image(HWND hnd, unsigned int buffer, int sx, int sy, int sw, int sh, int dx, int dy)
{
	HRESULT hr;
	int srcFrame=0;
	buffer = (unsigned int) *((int*)(buffer+4));
	buffer = (unsigned int) *((int*)(buffer+(4 * srcFrame)));

	IDirectDrawSurface7 *destTex=NULL;
	destTex = (IDirectDrawSurface7*) *((int*)(buffer+12));

	HDC sDC=0;
	HDC dDC=0;

	sDC=GetDC(hnd);
	if(!sDC) return 0;

	hr=destTex->GetDC(&dDC);
	if(FAILED(hr))
	{
		ReleaseDC(hnd,sDC);
		return hr;
	}

	BOOL result=BitBlt(dDC,sx,sy,sw,sh,sDC,dx,dy,SRCCOPY);
	destTex->ReleaseDC(dDC);
	ReleaseDC(hnd,sDC);
	return result;
}

Note that I've left out the source frame from the parameters, you can just add it in if you wish (does work:)

Here's an example of calling it, I'm using GetDesktopWindow() so you'll need to have that setup in your user32.decls for this test:

Graphics 800,600,32,2

image=CreateImage(512,512)
srcHWND=api_GetDesktopWindow()


While Not KeyDown(1)
	BitBlitHWND2Image(srcHWND,image,0,0,512,512,0,0)
	DrawImage image,MouseX(),MouseY()

	Flip
Wend
End

Cya!
