Hi Tony,



Thanks for the suggestion.  It really helped.  What you suggested worked great, but what I really want is to only capture the application window.  Your suggestion got me headed in the right direction.  Here's what I ended up with, and gets me exactly what I'm looking for.




var pic = Sys.Desktop.ActiveWindow();



Regions.AddPicture(pic, "test.jpg");


Regions.GetPicture("test.jpg").SaveToFile("C:\\TEMP\\test.jpg");
