Thread: GetPixel and getting a screenshot.

I got the following code in a DLL , also i got another function wrapping getPixel. But i got 2 problems with result i'm getting.

- One is that the image looks more stretched than it should be

- Secondly it doesn't seem to be a 24 bit image, but rather 256 colors

I searched the internet for a solution but couldn't find one. I'm also a bit puzzled on what selectObject really does, msdn is rather vague about it.

Anyone that can help me out with this ?

Code:

HDC doBitmap(HWND hwnd) {
	int result;
	int height = getHeight(hwnd);
	int width = getWidth(hwnd);
	HDC hdc = GetWindowDC(hwnd);
	if (hdc)
	{
		HDC hdcMem = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);
		if (hdcMem)
		{
			HBITMAP hbitmap = CreateCompatibleBitmap(hdc, width,height);
			if (hbitmap)
			{
				SelectObject(hdcMem, hbitmap);
				result = PrintWindow(hwnd, hdcMem, 0);
				return hdcMem;
			}
			DeleteObject(hdcMem);
		}
		ReleaseDC(hwnd, hdc);
	}
	return 0;
}
