Remote Zoomin not get gapi game screen shot

[BadBazza]

Hi,<br><br>I usually have no problems whatsoever using Remote Zoomin to get screenshots from my ipaq over a network link.<br><br>However, I have just tried to get a screen shot of my first GAPI game and all I get is a blank image (all white). It works ok for everything else, gdi etc. I have even tried pausing the game. It looks like it is downloading the image ok but then displays this white image.<br><br>Has anyone else had this problem or know of fix<br><br>Thanks in advance<br>Bad

That will happen with ALL screengrab methods which just grab the gdi screen, which is blank under GAPI.<br><br>The best solution is just to write your own 'save as bmp' code, put it in your game, and it will work well.<br>

This is just a guess, but I would think that GDI has in internal surface that acts like a back buffer that it copies to the display memory.  Since your app has circumvented GDI and is drawing directly into display memory, the data you're drawing never gets into GDI's back buffer.<br><br>One fix would be to write your own screen dump routine that would save it to a file on the PocketPC which you could then retrieve through ActiveSync's file explorer.<br><br>

You need a GAPI-based capture program. Larry Bank has such a program for sale called "Virtual_CE". It can be found at http://www.bitbanksoftware.com/ce/. East
