Solved: Thanks to tombana

Hello,
I want to write a program which "analyses" a captcha in a text-based browsergame. This routine will run every 2 minutes, so everything needs to be done minimized (mouse movement and typing are done by PostMessage). Now, how will I be able to read the pixels of a picture in a browser if the current actively focused window is not the one which contains the captcha? GetPixel doesn't seem to work .. (with a device context I always get FFFFFF's if the captcha is not visible). Is it possible to read the pixels of a window which is not visible because of other windows which are "covering" it?[/b]

There is a function called PrintWindow which prints the contents of a window or control to a device context. It also works when the window is behind other windows, but I think it does nót work if the window is minimized.
And I think it's only available in Windows XP, if that matters for you.
