Hi,

i want to take continuously screenshots from five different positions on my desktop very fast.
The CopyFromScreen mothod is unfortunately to slow.

I found:
Very fast screen capture using DirectX in C#[^]
but i dont know:
- how to take a screenshot with directX on my secondary screen.
- how to convert them into a Bitmap.
- how to only shreenshot a specific region.

Or is there a better solution then directX?

Hopefully someone can help me...

Thanks and Greetings

There are other articles on screen capture here on CodeProject; why not search for them, and study them.

"The CopyFromScreen mothod is unfortunately to slow." It might help you get answers to your question if you explain how you determined this.
