I don't know which API to use or once I do grab a region of a window..how to post that exact region onto a form or panel

Or I don't know the most efficient way of doing it...I don't know exactly what that technique is called

There's many ways you can go about this by using a picturebox and load the image or load the image on the form etc..

First you'd capture a full desktop image then display it in the form or picturebox

PHP Code


<?php 
this.BackgroundImage == Imagehere 


Then you'll want to take change the borders to none and and adjust the size to your screen size

PHP Code


<?php 
this.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None;
this.Size = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size; 


Then you'd start to draw

example

PHP Code


<?php 
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Math;

public class Form1
{


    private Rectangle MyRectangle;
    private bool Drawing = false;
    private float StartX;
    private float StartY;
    private float CursorX;

    private float CursorY;
    private void YourForm_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Escape) {
            this.Close();
        }
    }

    private void YourForm_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        Drawing = true;
        StartX = e.X;
        StartY = e.Y;
        CursorX = e.X;
        CursorY = e.Y;
    }

    private void YourForm_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (!Drawing)
            return;
        Graphics G = this.CreateGraphics;
        CursorX = e.X;
        CursorY = e.Y;
        this.Invalidate();
    }


    private void YourForm_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        Drawing = false;
        Graphics G = this.CreateGraphics;
        G.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, MyRectangle.X, MyRectangle.Y, MyRectangle.Width, MyRectangle.Height);
        this.Invalidate();

        
    
    }



    private void YourForm_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        if (Drawing == true) {
            Pen Dashed_Pen = new Pen(Brushes.Red, 2);

            Dashed_Pen.DashStyle = Drawing2D.DashStyle.Solid;
            MyRectangle = new Rectangle(Min(StartX, CursorX), Min(StartY, CursorY), Abs(StartX - CursorX), Abs(StartY - CursorY));

            e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Fuchsia), MyRectangle);
            e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Dashed_Pen, MyRectangle);
        }
    }


    private void YourForm_Load(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        ScreenShot.ScreenCapture sc = new ScreenShot.ScreenCapture();
        Bitmap b = sc.CaptureScreen;
        this.BackgroundImage = b;

        this.Focus();
        this.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None;
        this.TopMost = true;
        this.Location = new Point(0, 0);
        this.Size = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size;
        this.DoubleBuffered = true;

    }
    public Form1()
    {
        Load += Region_Drag_Load;
        Paint += Region_Drag_Paint;
        MouseUp += Region_Drag_MouseUp;
        MouseMove += Region_Drag_MouseMove;
        MouseDown += Region_Drag_MouseDown;
        KeyDown += Region_Drag_KeyDown;
    }
} 


Then from there you could save the cords of the region once mouse click has been pressed then like crop the specific part then save it, You can do the rest i gave you a somewhat idea on how to..

Although it's written in VB and has no comments at all, it's very simple and you can easily copy and paste the stuff u need.

edit: this is almost exactly what anon above me provided you.
