Re: [python-win32] screen capture and win32gui.GetDesktopWindow()

Upon further tries, I can get handles, DCs, and/or Win32 BMPs from the desktop, but I can't get to a DIB from there. Can someone outline the general process that might be required? Ie., get window handle create in/out DCs select bmp to outDC blit inDC data I tried emulating a nice IronPython exa

Can you just call a GUI api that interfaces directly with the graphics card? On 12/6/06, Tim Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Ray Schumacher wrote: > I've been mulling screen capture code. I tried PIL's > ImageGrab().grab() (with pymedia) but find PIL's method to be pretty > slow, ~4grabs per

[python-win32] screen capture and win32gui.GetDesktopWindow()

I've been mulling screen capture code. I tried PIL's ImageGrab().grab() (with pymedia) but find PIL's method to be pretty slow, ~4grabs per second max with no other processes. pymedia is pretty quick once I hand it the data. There has to be another way to get a copy or buffer() of the screen DC
