HDC hScreenDC = GetDC(nullptr); // CreateDC("DISPLAY",nullptr,nullptr,nullptr);
HDC hMemoryDC = CreateCompatibleDC(hScreenDC);
int width = GetDeviceCaps(hScreenDC,HORZRES);
int height = GetDeviceCaps(hScreenDC,VERTRES);
HBITMAP hBitmap = CreateCompatibleBitmap(hScreenDC,width,height);
HBITMAP hOldBitmap = static_cast<HBITMAP>(SelectObject(hMemoryDC,hBitmap));
BitBlt(hMemoryDC,0,0,width,height,hScreenDC,0,0,SRCCOPY);
hBitmap = static_cast<HBITMAP>(SelectObject(hMemoryDC,hOldBitmap));
DeleteDC(hMemoryDC);
DeleteDC(hScreenDC);
