Im trying to Capture the Mouse and create an image file with it rendered in there. I can currently do this via the method Smashly helped me with. AutoIt Forum link However using this method i have to render the image into a GUI then take a screenshot then write the screenshot to a file. I would prefer to be able to grab the cursor handle then just create a image file. Obviously I am not understanding how all the different type of handles(bitmap object, device context) interact with each other
