Capturing a screenshot in IDL [message #51857]

Hi folks,

I want to make a full-screen screenshot of my program within IDL code,
just like pressing the ALT+Printscreen buttons on your keyboard to get
the current window in your clipboard. I also want to save the
screenshot into a BMP or DICOM file. The trick is that I want to do
this automatically within my IDL code.

After spending some time on the internet I've came across various
sites, including this one from David;
http://www.dfanning.com/tips/ps_screen_dump.html. But as far as I can
see he only makes a shot of direct graphics windows and this is not
what I'm looking for... :(

Is there a way to get this done in IDL?

Regards,
Erik
