_ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd capturing on top of the window


Recommended Posts

I guess I understand that using _ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd will just find the coordinates to the window specified and grab whatever is there, but I just had an occasion where the window I wanted to grab was not the active window and other things were on top of it. A script was set to take a screenshot when a certain condition was met, but I was presented with a screengrab of the wrong thing.

Besides using WinActive and that becoming annoying and getting in the way of what I was doing in the foreground, any fixes on getting a screengrab of a window that may be behind others, without bringing it forward?

Thanks

You can use the _WinAPI_PrintWindow() function to capture any window but it will look not exactly the same as what is seen on the desktop.

I use this function in Windows Screenshooter where you can see the result.
