I am making a script to take screenshot on ComputerA then send it to ComputerB but i don't want the screenshot to be write on the HardDisk each time.

An example of my current script:

What can i do with $hBitmap to get the binary string of the screenshot?
Currently $hBitmap = 0x240508E0

I really need help with the manipulation HBITMAP handle to get the result I want.

hi, i dont understand u very well, but u can read or write a file in a binary form using $file = FileOpen($scre..., 16)
make a file .jpg on the variable $hBitmap and later open with FileOpen....

or just put $hbitmap=binary(_ScreenCap_Capture ())

for recive u have to put the next lines...
remember u can send only a max of 2048bytes....if u want more help go to my post file transfer Tcp/ip http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...mp;#entry392656

 Func _SockRecv($iSocket)
    Local $sData = Binary("")
    While $sData = "" 
        $sData = TCPRecv($iSocket, 3000)
    WEnd 
    $sData=Binary($sData)
    Return $sData
EndFunc;==>_SockRecv

I have try $hbitmap=binary(_ScreenCap_Capture ()) but i don't get the needed result.
$hbitmap = 0x49080582
If i send this to the server, the server don't receive the jpeg but only the BitMap handle.


I want get the same result as $DATA = FileRead($File) but without the need to save and read the jpeg every time.

#include <A3LScreenCap.au3>
$hBitmap = _ScreenCap_Capture ()
_ScreenCap_SaveImage ("ScreenShot.jpg", $hBitmap)
$File = FileOpen("ScreenShot.jpg", 16)
$DATA = FileRead($File)
FileClose($File)

It's certain but for now i think i will look at the PaulIA work to learn how I can do my Screen Capture manipulation.

he wants to send images from screen (screenshots) to another computer WITHOUT screencapturing to harddisk. is it possible to send data from a variable (ram) to another computer (without any file access)?

btw: how can i adjust the jpeg compression quality using GDI+ (auto3lib)?

I do it this way...

Did anybody with some experience can say if it was possible or not? If it was possible to write it in a file why it should not be possible to put it in a variable?

[CoDEmanX]

it is possible, dont know if possible with autoit...


some ideas (what i remember):

- pipes for redirecting file output?

- reading memory (ram, at address where the image is saved)

- autoit script-internal conversion to image format (bmp/jpg/png/...)

- "take over" of the data stream (possible in "real" programming languages like c++ or .net but very difficult)

@crash748:

doesn't work and doesn't use gdi+ as far as i can see... should be something like this:

; Set up parameters for compression quality
$tData = DllStructCreate("int Data")
DllStructSetData($tData, "Data", $GDIP_EPGQUALITY)
$tParams = _GDIP_ParamInit(1)
_GDIP_ParamAdd($tParams, $GDIP_EPGQUALITY, 1, $GDIP_EPTLONG, DllStructGetPtr($tData, "Data"))

_GDIP_ImageSaveToFileEx ($aSlice[$iI], "C:\A3LSlice" & $iI & ".jpg", $sCLSID, $tParams)

Thanks for your tip! Maybe i will find something!

check this out!

In Memory Image Compression C++ (VC7.1 / VC7 / VC6)

we have to ask the author for a dll, cause i assume we can't do the same using AutoIt...

//edit: asked him ("Memory Image Compression DLL?")

I am not familiar with AutoIt-Scripting, but if the script can utilize COM, then it should be able to utilize IStream object. I am not really sure that rewriting the application to be a DLL would solve your problem. Possibly, the best solution would be to provide COM capabilities to the scripting language.

Sorry I could not be of more help!

ok, i have still no idea how to manage but i let my mind wander:

// load image
Image image(L"Nice.bmp");

we need an image:

; Initialize GDI+ library
_GDIP_StartUp()

; Capture screen
$hBitmap  = _ScreenCap_Capture("C:\A3LImage.bmp")

; Load image and emboss text

no idea at all...

AutoIt Lib 3 has some memory functions, eg. _Mem_GlobalAlloc($iBytes[, $iFlags]) or _Mem_CtrlRead(ByRef $tMemMap, $pSrce, $pDest, $iSize).

anybody who can help us?
