  • Get the DC for the screen with GetDC(NULL)
  • Create a memory DC with CreateCompatibleDC.
  • Create a bitmap compatible with the screen DC and the same size as the screen.
  • Select the bitmap into the memory DC.
  • BitBlt from the screen DC to the memory DC.
  • Deselect the bitmap from the memory DC.
  • Use GetBitmapBits to copy the bitmap into memory.
