Another Win32Lib question: captureMouse()

I would like to get the value of a pixel on the screen but outside my
program's window.  I tried it like this:

Use 'captureMouse(MainWin)' to send all mouse events to my main window.
When the desired button is pressed, calculate the *screen* coords from the
data passed to the onMouse(...) event handler, and data returned from
'getSize(MainWin)'.
Use getPixel(Screen,x,y) to get the pixel value at the calculated location.

Unfortunately, this didn't work.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ben
