How to Capture the image which is not focussed

[ManoharaSampathila]

Hi,



In one of my project, I have to capture the Image of a control which is not visible / focused.

I have to capture & display the images of the controls which are placed on the different tabpages.

The thing is I can capture the image of the control when the control is visible and the focus is set to the parent tab page.

I tried with various methods but no success. One of the methods I have used is “CreateDIBSection”.

I have also tried using CreateGraphics method of the control.



It will be helpful if the Source code is posted,



Looking for your help.
