Description

This uses an existing miniwindow's offscreen bitmap, to make an image that can be loaded into another miniwindow. This lets you set up offscreen windows (that you may never plan to actually show with WindowShow) as "work areas" for creating text or images, that can be loaded or blended into other windows.

WindowName - the name of an existing miniwindow.

ImageId - the image id to store its image under.

SourceWindow - the miniwindow name that is the source of the image.
