I wanted to make a program on Windows Platform, that sends screenshot of the server to a client software. Is there any function that allows C++ to printscreen? Can I use normal winsock functions to send it over to the client?

I'm only starting to learn programming over network, so hopefully you all can be patient with me :o

What tools are you using to get networking functionality? This will make a huge difference in the answer. VS uses very different code from wxWidgets, for example.

What are all those things? :001_unsure:

Currently I'm only using plain old windows.h and winsock to do the stuff.

I want to be "free" from the liscensing and stuff, so I'll probably avoid Open Source libraries like wxWidgets, although it really looked impressive from the website:thumbup:

wxWidgets doesn't require any licensing restrictions on the code you create. We have a few members that are familiar with winsock and windows.h, but I'm not one of them.

Oh? I thought softwares-derivatives from GPL or GNU softwares/libraries need to be under similar license as well?

wxWidgets has a special license so you can use it to build commercial software.
