I cannot figure out how to take the image of the desktop and copy it to a newly created image. Could someone please help me?
Copy the Desktop?
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Copy the Desktop? ...or desktopext.mod (see my signature)! And remember to grab the desktop before intialising graphics mode.
The only reason you would want to do that is for......
shenanigans!

Just for Jeremy's sake, I'm making a paint program and I want the option to take a snapshot of the desktop.
aha!
so you are not planning on making a prank program where you cant click on the desktop icons then

Most OS's can do that natively. In Windows you just press the Print Screen key then do a paste into your paint program.
Where is the fun in using a native program? I like to learn about the functions of my own computer by making programs and such that do the same thing. I better understand a system that way.
Besides, it's fun to make your own program anyway, and everyone here knows that.
