I have created procedures to save window screenshot to file. It works for PNG and BMP, but not for JPG (and GIF). Here is code for capturing HBITMAP:
HBITMAP Signature::getScreenHBITMAP() {
// get screen rectangle
RECT windowRect;
GetWindowRect(getMainWnd(), &windowRect);
// bitmap dimensions
int bitmap_dx = windowRect.right - windowRect.left;
int bitmap_dy = windowRect.bottom - windowRect.top;
// create bitmap info header
BITMAPINFOHEADER infoHeader;
infoHeader.biSize = sizeof(infoHeader);
infoHeader.biWidth = bitmap_dx;
infoHeader.biHeight = bitmap_dy;
infoHeader.biPlanes = 1;
infoHeader.biBitCount = 24;
infoHeader.biCompression = BI_RGB;
infoHeader.biSizeImage = 0;
infoHeader.biXPelsPerMeter = 0;
infoHeader.biYPelsPerMeter = 0;
infoHeader.biClrUsed = 0;
infoHeader.biClrImportant = 0;
// dibsection information
BITMAPINFO info;
info.bmiHeader = infoHeader;
HDC winDC = GetWindowDC(getMainWnd());
HDC memDC = CreateCompatibleDC(winDC);
BYTE* memory = 0;
HBITMAP bitmap = CreateDIBSection(winDC, &info, DIB_RGB_COLORS, (void**)&memory, 0, 0);
SelectObject(memDC, bitmap);
// Copies screen upside down (as it is already upside down) - if need normal layout, change to BitBlt function call
StretchBlt(memDC, 0, 0, bitmap_dx, bitmap_dy, winDC, 0, bitmap_dy, bitmap_dx, bitmap_dy * -1, SRCCOPY);
DeleteDC(memDC);
ReleaseDC(getMainWnd(), winDC);
return bitmap;
}
And here is code for image saving:
HRESULT Imaging_SaveToFile(HBITMAP handle, LPTSTR filename, LPCTSTR format){
HRESULT res;
res = CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
if ((res == S_OK) || (res == S_FALSE)) {

I used code from Koders.com as an example and tried to follow MSDN description of image encoding when modified this example.
Found also that others have similar issue, but with no answer:
social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobiledev/thread/1c368cc1-cc5b-419e-a7d2-2a39c90ae83d/
groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsce.embedded.vc/browse_thread/thread/8cd67e16ac29627b/9242e82721c48ace?hl=hu&pli=1
I also found solution which uses GDI+ wrapper:
www.ernzo.com/LibGdiplus.aspx
www.codeproject.com/KB/windows/gdiplusandwinmobile.aspx
But I cannot use this GDI+ lib. Also I do not need whole GDI+. Tried to create similar saving procedure like in this wrapper, but with no success.
EDIT
Here is fixed and working solution (Thanks PhilMY for answer):

I have some similar code that worked for JPEGs on WinCE 6.0.
The main differences are:
ImageCodecInfo::FormatID
against ImageFormatJPEG
to match an encoderSetEncoderParameters
to set ENCODER_QUALITY
IBitmapImage
then use IImage::PushIntoSink
