I need help!

[Budgi]

I need to know how to capture the screen, and save it as a bitmap. Only parts
of the screen need to be captured, but if someone can tell me how to capture
the whole screen, I'm sure I can figure it out from there.
Also, does anyone know an easy way to compare bitmap files?

GetDC(NULL) retrieves the device context for the entire screen (primary
monitor in case of multi-monitor configurations). Then you can use BitBlt to
copy a selected rectangle area of the screen to a memory DC with a in-memory
bitmap selected into it.
