Determines how the source color in a copy pixel operation is combined with the destination color to result in a final color.

Namespace:  System.Drawing
Assembly:  System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public enum CopyPixelOperation
Member name Description
Blackness The destination area is filled by using the color associated with index 0 in the physical palette. (This color is black for the default physical palette.)
CaptureBlt Windows that are layered on top of your window are included in the resulting image. By default, the image contains only your window. Note that this generally cannot be used for printing device contexts.
DestinationInvert The destination area is inverted.
MergeCopy The colors of the source area are merged with the colors of the selected brush of the destination device context using the Boolean AND operator.
MergePaint The colors of the inverted source area are merged with the colors of the destination area by using the Boolean OR operator.
NoMirrorBitmap The bitmap is not mirrored.
NotSourceCopy The inverted source area is copied to the destination.
NotSourceErase The source and destination colors are combined using the Boolean OR operator, and then resultant color is then inverted.
PatCopy The brush currently selected in the destination device context is copied to the destination bitmap.
PatInvert The colors of the brush currently selected in the destination device context are combined with the colors of the destination are using the Boolean XOR operator.
PatPaint The colors of the brush currently selected in the destination device context are combined with the colors of the inverted source area using the Boolean OR operator. The result of this operation is combined with the colors of the destination area using the Boolean OR operator.
SourceAnd The colors of the source and destination areas are combined using the Boolean AND operator.
SourceCopy The source area is copied directly to the destination area.
SourceErase The inverted colors of the destination area are combined with the colors of the source area using the Boolean AND operator.
SourceInvert The colors of the source and destination areas are combined using the Boolean XOR operator.
SourcePaint The colors of the source and destination areas are combined using the Boolean OR operator.
Whiteness The destination area is filled by using the color associated with index 1 in the physical palette. (This color is white for the default physical palette.)

The CopyPixelOperation enumeration is used by the CopyFromScreen method of the Graphics class.
