Need to grab screen from remote computer

[JGillespie]

Looking for a way to grab a screenshot from a remote computer. I know there third party solutions to this but would like to write it myself.

Anyone got any pointers?

Send a message to an app on the remote telling it to capture the screen and pass the data back using Winsock.

Does this give you any ideas?

There are plenty of examples of performing both actions, in the Tek-Tips VB forums.

Cheers for the reply.

Have figured out the screen grab on remote machine - but passing it back to server app causing me problems.

Any chance of some specific help? Jamie Gillespie
