VB Forum / General / February 2008

Hi all.

I have a form, no border, not maximized. The form can appear anywhere on the
screen. In form load, the position and size the form needs to be is
calculated and set, then using Bitblt an image of the screen is put on the
form so that if nothing else is on or drawn on to the form then it would
appear invisible.
All works well, except on multiple monitor systems, if none of the form is
within the primary monitor then nothing of the desktop gets drawn on to the
form, if some of it is within the primary monitor then just the bit in the
primary monitor is drawn.
What I need is the Hdc for the entire desk top or the Hdc of any secondry
monitors and draw each part of the desk top to the form using 2 or more
BitBlt's.
Any pointers please on the best way to do this?

Thanks

Ivar
