I'm going to try and make a small macro in C++ (not to replace SCAR of course, but just to see if I could).

Thanks, Cruel, that's exactly what I wanted. What is the different between WindowFromPoint( ) and WindowFromPhysicalPoint( )? Also, how would you get a bitmap of the window you selected?

You can get a bitmap with GetWindowDC, then use that DC with something like BitBlt.
