computer in a mirror

[datkewlguy]

i saw some code on the forum a while back that really fascinated me, it reads the monitor output and writes it back backwards. The problems are:

It's not full screen

Because it displays the area under your mouse, if you try and display the displayed area it freaks out

It's just buggy

So my objective here is to make it so your computer would look like it would if you were looking at it in a mirror... heres the code:

$total = @DesktopHeight + @DesktopWidth
Global $SRCCOPY = 0x00CC0020
Global $leave = 0 , $dll[3] , $size = $total

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}","leave")


$dll[1] = DllOpen ( "user32.dll")
$dll[2] = DllOpen ( "gdi32.dll")


While Not $leave
  Sleep(25)
  MAG()
WEnd

DllClose ( $dll[1] )
DllClose ( $dll[2] )

Func MAG()
  $DeskHDC = DLLCall("user32.dll","int","GetDC","hwnd",0)
  If Not @error Then
     $xy = MouseGetPos()
     If Not @error Then
        DLLCall("gdi32.dll","int","StretchBlt","int",$DeskHDC[0],"int",_
                    0,"int",0,"int",$size,"int",$size,"int",$DeskHDC[0],"int",_
                    $xy[0] + $size,"int",$xy[1],"int", "-" & $size ,"int", $size,_
                    "long",$SRCCOPY)
     EndIf
     DLLCall("user32.dll","int","ReleaseDC","int",$DeskHDC[0],"hwnd",0)
  EndIf
EndFunc

Func leave()
  $leave = 1
EndFunc

any improvements would be great, especially if they can fix any of the main problems listed above... Thx

Actually, if you re-read his post, he said he saw it on the forum, and intends to debug the code.

This will do the full screen reverse, but as there are no loops, it will execute the script and exit, leaving your display inverted, until you refresh or mouve the mouse.

Works here on W2000.

Funny

Finally someone whos after the same thing I am.

I started the topic that spawned this one.

The above example works for me but as already stated its only one freeze frame reversed.

Could this be made to happen in real time within a loop ?

Or could such a speed simply not be possible ?

[datkewlguy]

Im interested, maybe we could make the above script into a loop so it wouldnt reset?...

[datkewlguy]

ok 150 ppl have looked at this, anyone know how to make that script a current feed? (loops up to date with changes)

I just realised that even if you did nothing would work.

Take your desktop for example, the icons you had carefully lined up on the left hand side of your screen may appear to be on the right hand

side now, but clicking them will do u know good, adcept maby creating a patch of distortion for a second or so.

Nothing will work ur startbar, ur taskbar ect, everything will just be hidden behind a sheet of a flipped screenshot.

Unless someone actually has a way of flipping the screenoutput the above methoid should be abandoned
