I need some help in figuring out how to save the screen image on a color monitor. I want to save the current color image, throw up a dialog box, then restore the original image after the box has gone away. Since the dialog box may straddle multiple windows, using the GetPort routine won't give me access to all the screen. I've attempted to get directly to the image from the device record and to save it using CopyBits, but Think Pascal 3.0 doesn't like you trying to stuff pixmaps where it wants a bitmap. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks. -- thomas willett Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta gt4586c@prism.gatech.edu "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." - Salvor Hardin (Foundation)
