getpixelcolor question

[Nezoic]

I was wondering if anyone could show me the class in c++ that AutoIt uses to get pixel information, or better yet if anyone knows how to replicate this in Visual Basic.Net.

VB.net has a function to get pixel information from bitmaps or other images but not from the display screen as a whole.

Thanks.

I know the API is roughly GetDC() + GetPixel().

Lar.

hehe I was hoping there was another way other than getting a desktop image, or is that how autoit works? seems like a very smooth process when the function is called. I know of several ways to just get a screenshot, then get pixels from that but wondering if there was a lower level way of doing it, more efficently.
