I'd like to write a program to automate some screenshotting I'd like to do which is basically impossible to perform manually.
Anyone know how to do this?
I know there are programs that exist for screen recording, but none I've found are ideal, and a programmatic solution would provide me with an ultimate degree of flexibility.

None.

If you use GDI you could use GetDC(NULL); to get a handle for the entire screen... then just use BitBlt or GetDIBits to copy the data. GetDIBits is probably more useful because it gives you the raw data in a buffer so you could just dump it into a file or something. (BitBlt copies it to another dc thingy.)
