What do I use to:

1.Grab the entire desktop (of a 9 monitor system) to a .BMP?

2. Grab a portion of the entire desktop (of a 9 monitor system) to a .BMP?

I'm currently only able to grab from the primary display... using positive coords to attempt to grab from other displays.

Thanks for all help and replies!

UltraMon won't help with this, but all you should need is a device context for the entire desktop: GetDC(0)

Thank you for your reply!

How does the coordinate system work?

For instance, where is 0/0 in refernce to the entire desktop?

If I have a quad system, 4 monitors at 1024 x 768 ea ... in the following configuration:

3 4
1 2

What coord would be the upper left of monitor 4?
Would it be 1025/1536?

Thank for your help!
