Take window snapshots when is in background or minimized

[supersonic]

Hi!

Is there a way to take snapshots of a window when it is in background or minimized?

This sample code works, but only when a window is visible:

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Global $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Notepad]", "")
Global $aTmp = WinGetPos($hWnd, "")

If IsArray($aTmp) = 1 Then
    _ScreenCapture_SetJPGQuality(100)
    _ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd(@ScriptDir & "\test.jpg", $hWnd, $aTmp[0], $aTmp[1], $aTmp[2], $aTmp[3], False)
EndIf

Anyone any ideas?

Greets,

hi

Yes, much asked question. My understanding is you can take a screenshot when a window is hidden using guisetstate, but can not be taken if a window is minimized. Moved off the screen, yes but via a different method

Thank you! It works perfect!

I'm sorry for asking this question again.
