press the print screen button on your keyboard and paste into Paint.

Press the print screen key above near the backspace key.

ace
i want that my game can do it!!
like
lib_DoScreenshot(*pointertodata);
You said wgl, so i'm assuming opengl, look up glReadPixels, and how to save that to a bitmap.
but with this you can only read pixels from your window, and not from the complete desktop! I need a screenshot from all windows + taskbar.
(like when you press print screen key)
This should get you started.

HTH,
Pat.
try this too

for future reference, here's the google query I used to find it: "win32 api screen capture desktop" easy huh?
