In our "ZieglerCollection one", we have a component, that is the complete
screen, so it should be easy to print it. You will have the screen in form
of a tCanvas.

You can download "ZieglerCollection one" from our homepage at
http://www.zieglersoft.dk or http://www.zieglersoft.com

Re:Capturing The Whole Screen

There really isn't that much you have to do. Simply get the device
context for the entire screen and bitblt to an offscreen bitmap/canvas.
There have been several posts (q&a's) regarding this question. To find a
plethora of code snippits on the subject one should try searching an
archive (like deja news, my personal fav.) for GetDeskTopWindow (a
function that returns the handle to the screen wich can be used in turn
with getDC to return the desired dc).

For example: in using BitBlt, use GetDC(0) to return the Device Context
for the screen.
