How to speed up set pixel bitmap?

I'm curious about how the scan and wait functions work. they can work in the background and quickly find images even in windows that don't support PrintWindow.

I tried to make a function that can capture the screen in a window that runs in the background, but this window does not support PrintWindow. it will only get black

after I did some research, I found the SetPixel function in gdi32.dll. with this reference I can declare the dll function in my macros, then I use this to get every pixel in the area in the window.

but I think this method is too slow when compared to scan, wait, or CaptureImageOnScreen. to get 155 x 37 image I need up to 3 seconds to complete it, whereas CaptureImageOnScreen can be finished in less than 1 second

how can i speed up the process of this function?

Thanks

Function BackgroundScreenshot

Code:

Copy      Help

function hwnd x y width height str'path

dll gdi32 #SetPixel hdc x y color

RECT r
r.left = x
r.top = y
r.right = x + width
r.bottom = y + height
__MemBmp m.Create(width height)

int i j
for(j r.top r.bottom)
,for(i r.left r.right)
,,_i=FastPixel(i j hwnd 1)
,,SetPixel m.dc (i - r.left) (j - r.top) _i
SaveBitmap(m.bm path)

SOLVED!
I just realize CaptureImageOnScreen using

Function CaptureImageOnScreen

Code:

Copy      Help

__MemBmp b
if(!b.Create(width height 1 x y)) ret

which is using srcdc of current screen, i think

while my function not using any srcdc

Function BackgroundScreenshot

Code:

Copy      Help

__MemBmp m.Create(width height)

so i change it to using dc of window that i want to capture, then it works like CaptureImageOnScreen. Very fast, it finished at same second

Function BackgroundScreenshot

Code:

Copy      Help

__MemBmp m.Create(width height GetDC(hwnd) x y)

and because it dont need to get and set pixel by pixel anymore, so i remove the dll declaration

Don't forget ReleaseDC.
