How to capture image of the web page?

[MrCreatoR]

Hi all,

I wondering, is there any way to capture image of particular web-page?

And i mean whole page, not just the visible area.

Is it possible? it will be better without using a browser, or other external programms, ecxept if they have a realy small size (around 50 kb)

Thanks.

Couldn't you just write a script to copy the active window to the clipboard (ALT +PRINT SCREEN), open paint, paste it there, and save it?

I use PDFCreator (at Sourceforge,net). It is a PDF printer destination.

Thanks, but i need to do it without using external apps, or at least that the app will not need to be installed and will work with cmd line.

Why not just save it as a file?

You could use _INetGetSource and save that into a html file.

I need an image, not html. But thanks for idea.

I found here a command line program, as i understood, when it compiled it's only 20 kb size!

But i have no c++ compiler or any tools/knowlage for it, so if someone can compile it for me please, i will very appreciate it.

Free C/Cpp compilers.

I've got Pelles and Codeblocks installed but there are several available. The above page also contains links to good C/C++ help.

Thought you didn't want the window shown? From looking at the source, sure seems like that's how it does it.

Edit:

And there's files missing from the download.

What about this: http://www.pixel-technology.com/freeware/url2bmp/english/

Bigger than what you want, but does have a command line option...

They also have url2jpg http://www.url2jpeg.com/ which uses a dll that might lend itself to scripting?

Edit: just noticed that url2jpg uses the dot net framework, so probably not so good, but maybe url2bmp will do the job.

What about this

Almoust PERFECT! (a litle big size, but it's ok) Thanks!.

If someone will find a solution on "pure" AutoIt (using API or something), please let me know here.

Thanks to all.

Here's another one: http://iecapt.sourceforge.net/

About half the size of url2bmp, and if you upx it, you can get it down to just over 50k

It relies on gdiplus.dll, and the source code is available, so maybe a genius with dll calls could figure out how to make the necessary dll call(s) directly from AutoIt....
