How does window not capture itself in glass mode #17

Closed jbmcgee closed 2 years ago

jbmcgee commented 2 years ago

I've looked through some of the source, but its not clear to me how glass mode avoids the "hall of mirrors" effect you get when in capturing in clone mode with the output window on the monitor that's being captured. I only see WS_EX_TRANSPARENT being set. Any insight would be great.

Hey, it's a "relatively" (2019?) new feature of Windows Capture, the flag is WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE. Here's the press release I saw which gave me the idea for the app: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2019/09/16/new-ways-to-do-screen-capture/
