    Err - DirectX is quite different from OpenGL.

      so itīs not possible ? I thought grabing the front/back buffer is possible in OpenGL and DirectX

        Yes. But you can only capture the OpenGL screen with OpenGL and the DirectX screen using DirectX. They do similar things but are different.
