Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Is it not possible to display(show) second window in the background and
capture the window image and then delete the background window.

or else

Show the second window out of screen size that is if screen size is
100*100
I will display the second window from 101 to 200. If that is
possible...I can display the second window...somewhere and then i can
create the bitmap of it.

Is anyof the above things possible

Thanks alot for ur help.

Krishna.
