   So, you want to be able to get the image of a window, even if it
isn't visible due to being minimized or covered by another window,
right?
   I'm not a Windows programmer, but I'd be inclined to say that what
you want to do probably isn't possible, or at least not easy.  I
believe, in most cases, that when a window needs to be made visible,
Windows sends a request to the application to redraw its image, or a
portion of it, as needed.  So, you might almost need to send the
request, then intercept the graphics calls that the application uses
to draw its image.
   If someone who knows more about this can confirm or correct what
I've said, please do.
