Print Screen Detector

[trialusert]

Is there a way to detect whether a screenshot from your computer is being taken? The game I'm playing takes a screenshot from each player and reveals wallhacks. I want to "catch" the printscreen action and disable all visuals (such as wallhacks) when the screenshot it taken...

Since the screenshit feature is part of the game you will need to find the function and hook it.

Can you give me some direction on how to fins that function? I can't think of anything...

At the end of the game loop it will present the screen every frame. The function for doing this varies per graphics API (IDirect3DDevice9::Present() or ::SwapBuffers()).

When printing a screen, there will most likely be a flag that it checks immediately after presenting the backbuffer.
If the flag is set, it will copy the backbuffer from this point and send it over the network.
