How to take a screenshot of Desktop
« on: April 27, 2013, 08:46:05 pm »
I have searched everywhere but only found Renderwindow::capture() for taking a screenshot, but this methode only takes a screenshot of the application itself and not whole Desktop.
My question is is there a way to take a screenshot of the whole desktop in SFML or do i have to go the hard way with win32 API?

Thanks in Advance :)

No. SFML doesn't manage what's outside its own windows.
