Ram Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 I am trying printscreen that is shown on a window. I am using " _ScreenCapture_Capture " to achieve the goal but the issue is that I have to execute the code always to check the output and then change the values of ileft, iright, ibottom, itop to get the perfect result. Is there a easy way to get the x and y values for getting the perfect screen shot in the first run? Awaiting your response! Thanks!
OneManPen Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 If you trying the get the position and size of a certain window, then use the method MIlesAhead stated, to find the screen pixel height and width use: @DeskTopHeight @DeskTopWidth ahmeddzcom and MarcosOrzari 2
Techn0mancer Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Beware of multiple monitor set-ups with that though. I think the @Desktop system info macros only refer to the main screen. (I.E. the one with the start menu on it.)
Moderators Melba23 Posted December 16, 2011 Moderators Posted December 16, 2011 Techn0mancer, You are correct - and this is how to get multiple monitor dimensions: $iFullDesktopWidth = _WinAPI_GetSystemMetrics(78) $iFullDesktopHeight = _WinAPI_GetSystemMetrics(79) M23 P.S.

Is there any advantage with using _WinAPI_ that I may be missing?
Moderators Melba23 Posted December 16, 2011 Moderators Posted December 16, 2011 norry, I am afraid that I have no idea. I do not have multiple monitora and just picked that up on the forum.

norry Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 No problem, I've just tested both ways on a multiple monitor setup and they return the same values. As I've not used _WinAPI_ before I took the chance to have a read and noticed _WinAPI_GetSystemMetrics(80) which gives the number of monitor's connected, which in my case is very useful information, so thanks again.

For example if you want to exclude the Taskbar from the screen shot. My Freeware Page
