Anyone have a routine to read the screen directly.  I want to capture a drag
of a translucent icon but have been completely unsucessful.  I tried
copybits and a trick I found on Apples site and even went so far as to copy
all the pixels from the screen using getcpixel.  Copybits shields the cursor
and it appears that getcpixel does as well. Calling showcursor does not
help.  Screen capture programs havent worked.  I think the only way I'm
going to be able to capture the translucent drag is to directly read the
screen, store and restore to a picture.

Anyone know how I can read the screen directly?
