Screenshot content to variable

[Hidix17]

Is it possible to take and read a screenshot without saving it into file?

I want to make as fast as possible.

Not sure what you mean by "read" the screenshot, but you can simply do a Send("{PRINTSCREEN}") to send it to the clipboard.

Oh thanks ,I forgot about this. Actually my script time is 63 ms using jpg format. I will try this

[Hidix17]

Nope, it is not possible to get it form clip board for me :-(

Leave the filename empty, e.g.:

$hGDIBitmap = _ScreenCapture_Capture("", 0, 0, 199, 199)

This will capture the screen and save the raw bitmap in the memory. The return value is the handle to the GDI bitmap! Edited March 9, 2015 by UEZ

Give me an example, I have never used it.

The idea was to don't save the screenshot on hard disc but in the ram memory to make is faster but still easy to read and send via tcp

There is a search function.

Ever used that?

[Hidix17]

Yes ,I used it and I found nothing

Well no-one can search for you, because no-one knows what you are wanting to do.

You question Screenshot to variable has been answered.

So get into more detail.

That's what I wanted to do. Unfortunately I gives an error in your server script. Line 40. Can not redeclare a constant.

I was written with an older AutoIt version.

Just remove this line and it should work.

Further, Load_BMP_From_Mem and _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateDIBFromBitmap were integrated meanwhile -> _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromMemory() is now the function!
