Hey guys! I got this code from this post:

Your example appears to be trying to combine these two methods.

 

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

_ScreenCapture_Capture(@ScriptDir & "\GDIPlus_Image.jpg")
ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\GDIPlus_Image.jpg")

and

 

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <ClipBoard.au3>

; Capture full screen
Send("{PRINTSCREEN}") ; Screen
;Send("!{PRINTSCREEN}") ; window

_Main()

ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\Image.jpg")

Func _Main()
    Local $hBmp, $hImage

    If Not _ClipBoard_Open(0) Then _WinAPI_ShowError("_ClipBoard_Open failed")
    $hBmp = _ClipBoard_GetDataEx($CF_BITMAP)
    _GDIPlus_Startup()
    $hImage = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHBITMAP($hBmp)

    ; Save bitmap to file
    _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage, @ScriptDir & "\Image.jpg") ;$sNewName)

    _GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($hImage)
    _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
    _ClipBoard_Close()

EndFunc ;==>_Main

But i get the error: Clipboar open failed. 

Anyone can help me?

 

Thank you

Looks like a bit has changed since 6 years ago code wise. I'm checking https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/Clipboard Management.htm for what has and I'll see what I can do.

Not seeing anything yet, but if you're really just trying to save a screenshot and nothing else I'd recommend using the example from:

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_ScreenCapture_SaveImage.htm

I know of that function, but i need it to be using the print screen key. 

I tried to add more #include, close the clipboard before open it but i couldn't get it to work. :/

 

[EvilRubberDuck]

I read this:  This function fails if another window has the clipboard open.

And tried to use this function ( _ClipBoard_GetOpenWindow ) before open clipboard to see if any window has clipboard opened and i got this: 0x00010010.

But i don't know how to identify the window with this handle :/ If it is any window.

You can use Example 2 from https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/WinList.htm to find out

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <ClipBoard.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>



; Capture full screen
Send("{PRINTSCREEN}") ; Screen
;Send("!{PRINTSCREEN}") ; window

_Main()

ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\Image.jpg")

Func _Main()
    Local $hBmp, $hImage

    MsgBox(0,"ola", _ClipBoard_GetOpenWindow () )
    If Not _ClipBoard_Open(0) Then _WinAPI_ShowError("_ClipBoard_Open failed")
    $hBmp = _ClipBoard_GetDataEx($CF_BITMAP)
    _GDIPlus_Startup()
    $hImage = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHBITMAP($hBmp)

    ; Save bitmap to file
    _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage, @ScriptDir & "\Image.jpg") ;$sNewName)

    _GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($hImage)
    _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
    _ClipBoard_Close()

EndFunc ;==>_Main

I just want to laugh... so if i put the msgbox there to show me the handle of the window wih clipboard open it actually works the whole code. I get the printscreen. If i take ou that line it doesn't work... Maybe if i put a sleep fucntion ...

 

Edit: Yap! If i put sleep(100) before clipboard_open, the code works! Maybe it takes more time to get the print to the clipboard than it gets to autoit to get from line 5 to line 15. It must be it right?

Glad your issue got resolved. Perhaps the printscreen button just doesn't like closing early which is what that window handle was.
