Does anybody know how to use the GetPixel Api call to get the color of a
pixel, anywhere on the screen. Not just within a form or object?

Thanks in advance.

hdcScreen = GetDC(0)
color = GetPixel(hdcScreen, x, y)
Call ReleaseDC(hdcScreen)

Thanks, thats just what I was looking for!

Dim DeskWnd As Long
Dim DeskDC As Long
Dim TargCol As Long

DeskWnd = GetDesktopWindow()
DeskDC = GetDC(DeskWnd)
TargCol = GetPixel(DeskDC, X, Y)
ReleaseDC(DeskWnd, DeskDC)

Hope this helps,
