Hi,
Can anyone give me concrete ideas or sample code as to how to show a
camera-like flash effect?
I would like to do this for a screen capture utility I'm developing,
which can take a "picture" of some area on the monitor?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
--Jaffar

See the article in the GDI+ FAQ about capturing the screen OR use the
new 2.0 framework functionality.

Then, draw the image back to the same place using a negative image of
the same picture, replacing it later (a few hundredths of a second) with
the original.

You could even play a little shutter sound. (see play a sound in Windows
