CopyFromScreen(Point, Point, Size)

Source:: Graphics.cs

Source:: Graphics.cs

Performs a bit-block transfer of color data, corresponding to a rectangle of pixels, from the screen to the drawing surface of the Graphics.

public:
 void CopyFromScreen(System::Drawing::Point upperLeftSource, System::Drawing::Point upperLeftDestination, System::Drawing::Size blockRegionSize);

public void CopyFromScreen (System.Drawing.Point upperLeftSource, System.Drawing.Point upperLeftDestination, System.Drawing.Size blockRegionSize);

member this.CopyFromScreen : System.Drawing.Point * System.Drawing.Point * System.Drawing.Size -> unit

Public Sub CopyFromScreen (upperLeftSource As Point, upperLeftDestination As Point, blockRegionSize As Size)

Parameters

upperLeftSource: Point

The point at the upper-left corner of the source rectangle.

upperLeftDestination: Point

The point at the upper-left corner of the destination rectangle.

blockRegionSize: Size

The size of the area to be transferred.

Exceptions

Win32Exception

The operation failed.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the CopyFromScreen method. To run this example, paste it into a Windows Form. Handle the form's Paint event and call the CopyPixels1 method from the Paint event-handling method, passing e as PaintEventArgs.

private void CopyPixels1(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    e.Graphics.CopyFromScreen(this.Location, 
        new Point(40, 40), new Size(100, 100));
}

Private Sub CopyPixels1(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs) 
    e.Graphics.CopyFromScreen(Me.Location, _
        New Point(40, 40), New Size(100, 100))

End Sub

Remarks

The CopyFromScreen methods are useful for layering one image on top of another. To specify how the source and destination colors are blended, use one of the CopyFromScreen methods that takes a CopyPixelOperation parameter.

private void CopyPixels2(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    e.Graphics.CopyFromScreen(this.Location, new Point(40, 40), 
        new Size(100, 100), CopyPixelOperation.MergePaint); 
}

Private Sub CopyPixels2(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs) 
    e.Graphics.CopyFromScreen(Me.Location, _
        New Point(40, 40), New Size(100, 100), _
        CopyPixelOperation.MergePaint)
End Sub

Remarks

The CopyFromScreen methods are useful for layering one image on top of another. The copyPixelOperation parameter allows you to specify if and how the source colors should be blended with the colors in the destination area.
