Windows提供了一個API函數GetDesktopWindow,該函數返回桌面窗口的設備描述。 因此利用它就可以輕松獲取桌面窗口的圖象。
參見下例：
>>步驟1----建立新工程。
>>步驟2----編寫如下代碼：

Private Declare Function GetDesktopWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function GetDC Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) _
As Long
Private Declare Function BitBlt Lib "gdi32" _
(ByVal hDestDC As Long, ByVal x As Long, _
ByVal y As Long, ByVal nWidth As Long, _
ByVal nHeight As Long, ByVal hSrcDC As Long, _
ByVal xSrc As Long, ByVal ySrc As Long, _
ByVal dwRop As Long) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim lDesktop As Long
Dim lDC As Long

Form1.AutoRedraw = True
Form1.ScaleMode = 1
lDesktop = GetDesktopWindow()
lDC = GetDC(lDesktop)
BitBlt Me.hDC, 0, 0, Screen.Width, Screen.Height, lDC, _
0, 0, vbSrcCopy
End Sub

>>步驟3----編譯運行，看看大功告成了吧！
