Hello all, I was wondering if it was possible to get a snapshot of any currently visible window running in Windows? In other words, if I have Notepad running, given a window's title (e.g. "Notepad") , can I get an image (BMP, GIF, etc) of Notepad's window? If this is possible, can I do it without said window being the currently active window? Any pointers as to how this may be done would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I may have to somehow bring any window to the front prior to taking a snapshot. I was hoping I could get a snapshot whether the window was fully visible or only partially visible. Thanks.

You have to find the window's descriptor you want to capture, then take a screenshot and cut the area you want. This can be done with any window that is on screen, however if the window is (partially) not visible the captured image will have some other windows in it. Making a screenshot of a not (fully) visible window is a really hard thing to do.
