making printscreen

[pjotterke]

Hi guys i want to make a prints screen of a screen this is my code...

DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", $input_1, "int", 85)

But i want to make "$input_1" like this "$input_1.JPG"

understand?

how can i do that

If $input_1 is for the name of the picture, then this may do.

$input_1 = "PictureName.jpg"
DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", $input_1, "int", 85)

thanks for the Reply MHz

but there is a little prob $input_1 is a variable and iam using it in an other script...

so if i use your script he gives a "0" :S:S

verry odd...

so he wants to use input_1 to times...

Look at DLLCall in the help file to understand the return values (You'll also note, that if successful that DLLCall() will return an array).

i have looked @ the helpfile...

but didn't understand thats why i have asked on the forum

i just don't understand how i have to make a jpg with a variable...

i can do it if i have a name... like picture

then it's onlue picture.jpg thats easy but with a variable it is different...

No kidding... and I gave you an answer directly, but you also need read it... if you can't understand something in the help file, then ask the question specifically on the help file.

You can't store the picture like you want the way you want in a variable and just display it. There, saved you alot of time.

P.S.

PaulIA has some screen capture options in his AU3 library in the example scripts forum.

$input_2 = "PictureName.jpg"

DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", $input_2, "int", 85)

im thinking he has $Input_1 as a user input..

in which case, he needs to "stitch" the .jpg onto the end of it during the Dll call

$Input_1 = String("Picture")
$input_2 = String($Input_1&".jpg")
DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", $input_2, "int", 85)

[Shevilie]

$pic = GuiCtrlRead($input_1)

$pic = $pic & ".jpg"

DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", $pic, "int", 85)

[pjotterke]

$pic = GuiCtrlRead($input_1)

$pic = $pic & ".jpg"

DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", $pic, "int", 85)

thanks for the reply it works..!!

only 1 thing not:(

i want to give the JPG a name that i have put in on input_1

now it gives a "0" (not good)

is that because he thinks he have to give the JPG 2 names ore something elsE?
