the scripts work perfect, cant it be done that selected area can be dragged? and double clicking captures the area?

plz help asap,

PS thanks in advance

[Melba23]

ActualAkshay,

It is actually my original code.

But this is not a trivial request. The transparent area is created within another GUI and so dragging it requires the entire GUI to be moved - this can pose problems as Windows does not like you dragging the top of a GUI higher than the top of the display. Moving the rectangle also affects the position of the transparent area relative to the underlying GUI, so it will need some careful maths to make sure that the script then captures the correct area when triggered.

Do not expect miracles and certainly do not expect any result quickly.

I am not really good at maths, isnt there any other way of doing it? and also which is smooth like this script? (maybe because area is being marked inside the gui)

Thanks for replying

I am working on it - but be patient.

In Windows Screenshooter you can select an area on the desktop and move the retangle.

When I find some time I will create a small code extract with the same feature.

UEZ,

Trying to spoil my fun, eh! And just when I have it almost working too!

[UEZ]

Go ahead Melba23, I didn't start it at all.

To extract the part from Windows Screenshooter is not easy because of spaghetti code.

Sorry when I have spoiled your fun which was not my intention.

I was only joking, my friend!

ActualAkshay,

I had to change the code to give you an outline rectangle rather than a transparent one - and at the moment you fire the screenshot by releasing the mouse button. You drag the rectangle by dragging the lines themselves - or the little box in the top left corner. See what you think:

There's a program called CaptureIt in the forum, i think its by mscreator, its Region Capture is kind of cool, but the only thing that's not cool, the selected area becomes translucent and rest of the area stays transparent, and I don't think there point in making selected area translucent isn't there a way that selected area stays transparent and rest translucent? there's no way to drag it if its transparent?

I want it just like select feature in Photoshop hmmm like, you can resize it and move it again and again until you press double click to capture the area, or right click to open a menu (showing various options, such as cancel etc etc etc) OR better is showing a nice good looking floater at bottom or the top of the screen, I was working on all this stuff but couldn't figure out how to make the area drag-able, well lets see if I am able to do the rest on my own :S :S

Thank you, again, for helping me out.
