I need method #1. With the API calls you gave me I found what I needed. They were solutions you made for users already!

(1) Use the GetForegroundWindow() API to get a handle to the active window. Use the GetWindowRect() API to get the screen coordinates. Use the BitBlt() API to copy it to an image (more APIs involved there).
(2) Press Alt-PrtScr and copy the resulting Image from the ClipBoard.
Do you have a preference in method?...
