: Hi,
: How do i get a 'snapshot' of the whole screen then save it to a file (like *.bmp)?

Allthough there is a easyer way to do this, I forgot it:)
At the moment I recomend this:
Emulate a press on the "print screen " key on the keyboard.. using screen.width and screen.height create a new bitmap.. simply copy the data form the clipboard to the bitmap canvas...

: And how would i get only a part of the screen? Like only a small rectangle of a screen from 100,100 to 200,200?

when you get the bitmap above it's easy just to copy the part you want.. ie. create a canvas size 100*100 and copy the selected pixels from the main bitmap to the new smaller bitmap..
