Screenshots...

Quickest way:

-Run game;
-Go to the place for screenshot;
-Press Printscreen on your keyboard(above the Insert key);
-Quit game;
-Run Paint(or other graphics editors);
-Press CTRL + V(paste);

EDIT~ OMG i thought it was perfect.

Thanks, after having changed my DirectInput flag to NONEXCLUSIVE that worked.
That''ll do for my personal screenshots, but if anyone can give me code that will save the screen to a HBITMAP Handle please post it.
Thanks

If you''re using DirectDraw (maybe even D3D if you actually get the primary surface), then I think I remember there being a function that gives you a device context for a surface. Call this on the primary surface, then look in MSDN for the Win32 function that saves a memory DC (device context) as a bitmap. That should do it. Sorry I''m too lazy to look up the function names for you, but they exist so just look them up in the docs.

Theres an article about doing this on Gamedev,
