How can i capture the screen without the Form?

Question

This is a class i\'m using to capture my screen and mouse cursour as screenshot. But i want to make somehow that if the Form is in the middle of the screen don\'t capture it

Answer 1

Um.. Hide the form?

this.Visible = false; and THEN run the screenshot method.

Like this:

protected Bitmap TakeScreenshot(bool cursor)
{
   Bitmap bitmap;
   this.Visible = false;
   bitmap = CaptureScreen(cursor);
   this.Visible = true;
   return bitmap;
}

and use it in your code the way you wanted:

 private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
    using (bitmap = (Bitmap)ScreenCapture.TakeScreenshot(true))
    {
        ffmp.PushFrame(bitmap);
    }       
 }
