Autoit3Lib Help Needed

[JCMCNL]

Hey all,

I want to use the screen capture function in the autoit3lib package, however I need it to use pixel coordinates that are relative to the active window, I've tried the autoitsetoption pixelcoordmodes (all three of them) and screen capture still does the coordinates relative to the whole screen, does anyone know how I can set it to capture based on window coords? Any help would be appreciated and if any clarification is needed let me know.

Thanks in advance

$window = GUICreate("screen capture", 400, 300)
GUISetState()
_ScreenCap_CaptureWnd(@desktopcommondir , $window)

Hey Guys,

Sorry but I have another question. I've tried the solution you gave me and it does work but I was wondering if it would be possible to capture only a specific section of the specified window. I tried adding coordinates to the window command but I received an error saying that I'm not using the correct number of params. So is it at all possible to specify a region of should I try and find another way around it?

Thanks

This will capture your entire GUI:

#include <A3LScreenCap.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("ScreenCap", 400, 300)
GUISetState()
_ScreenCap_CaptureWnd("c:\window.jpg", $hGUI)oÝ÷ Øò¢ê',Ûhqªmº·¥ªí¡ü¨º±"Ø^*.綶Ø^B¢Ýv­zƧv¬²Ø^Ú-ä­ç§ ªBjn­çîبX¤zʺÚ"µÍÚ[ÛYH   ÐLÓØÜY[Ø]LÉÝÂÛØ[  ÌÍÝXÝ   ÌÍÚSY    ÌÍÚUÜÈÜX]HÕRBÌÍÚÕRHHÕRPÜX]J    ][ÝÔØÜY[Ø  ][ÝË

Hello

I just started using autoit and ran into the same problem.

I try to capture a region of the active window.

I used Client Coordinates (2) not to get problems with windows themes.

when i use mousemove with x/y coordinates to see the mouse pointer and check that these are ok

the region is correctly defined with those coordinates (the mouse move around the region exactly where i want).

But when i use the same coordinates with _ScreenCaptureWnd I get a picture that is not exactly the same on different systems (All XP Pro)

with or without themes.

Is _ScreenCaptureWnd working with AutoSetItOption MouseCoords 2 ?

i feel like only 0 was working.

As i just started recently to use autoit I may be using these functions the wrong way

Thanks

AutoItSetOption("PixelCoordMode", 2)
AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 2)

$h = WinGetHandle($window_name)
_ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd($tmp_file, $h, 443, 62, 462, 79, True)

; and

MouseMove(443,62)
MouseMove(462,79)

; does not match the same region
