Hello! I've got an HWND handle of my window (640*480). How can I create a copy of the contents of this window? I mean a big array of RGBA-RGBA-RGBA... data blocks? Bye

Create an array of memory dcs and hbitmaps and blit the window onto those, if you're using GDI.

Whatever you do, do NOT create an array of memory DC's!

Thanks for pointing that out. Just realized should extract data rather than generate a bunch of DCs.
