I want my application to be aware is some other app running in Windows is taking a screen-shot.

In .net Graphics.CopyFromScreen Method allows screen-shot capturing.

Questions:

Is Graphics.CopyFromScreen ultimately makes use of some API function?
Is there a way for my application to know if other app has made a particular API call?

That's going to be pretty hard to achieve. Lots of ways to take a screenshot. – David Heffernan Mar 03 '12 at 16:13
There is no single API. Most of them consist of getting the screen DC and blting from that. – Deanna Mar 05 '12 at 12:32
