Companion function to go with _ScreenCapture?

[qwert]

I need a way to drag across an area of the screen and capture the start and end points of the resulting rectangle in order to request a capture of that specific area. The _ScreenCapture function seems to assume you already know the x,y coordinates of the area to capture:

_ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image2.jpg", 0, 0, 796, 596)

So is there a companion function -- or a UDF -- to visually define those coordinates? This would seem to be a common need.

I've searched the forums and the help file -- but maybe I'm not using the right terms.

Thanks for any help.
