Hi Everyone,

I hope somebody can help me with this...

I'm trying to create a short script that opens a few programs (one at a time) and takes screenshots of each program and then closes each program.

This DLL is really helping me get away from automating a printscreen and paste to mspaint everytime which seemed to have been broken when I moved to Vista.

The only issue I have now is it only takes full screenshots. Is there any easy way to use this great DLL to only take a screenshot of the active window?

I figured it out, all that was necessary was to do a WinGetPos() and use the array when using the DLL. Works great now!

Hi Lazycat, thank you a lot for this great Dll, i defenetly will use it somethime...

I have a question:

Is it possible to make that this Dll also will have the option to save image-data that already was captured by another program to file?

Please, see here my main intention about this question. Thanks.

I see, problem already solved... that good, because no plans to add something here - now capturing can be done with native au3 code.

Hm, probably in beta version explicit cdecl setting is mandatory. Try change calls this way:

DllCall("captdll.dll", "int:cdecl", "CaptureScreen", "str", "dump_full.jpg", "int", 85)
DllCall("captdll.dll", "int:cdecl", "CaptureRegion", "str", "dump_partial.bmp", "int", 100, "int", 100, "int", 300, "int", 200, "int", -1)

That works,

Thanks

LazyCat, or anybody else.

Is there a way to have this capture the Mouse pointer also?

I just went to use my ScreenCap utility to make an animated gif as a tutorial and noticed that the Mouse pointer is not showing on any screenshot.

Thanks,

Mike

I have it running successfuly under XP, but have not been able to take screenshots under Windows Vista.

Is anybody here using capturedll under Vista?

I just finished testing it on Windows Vista Enterpise edition. If you are trying to save the files to any folder outside the dll's own folder you may need to launch the script with Admin Privlidges.

uhm ;D

well Lazycat thanx for the Dll

But have 1 question if i may ^^ or to all

Now, if i press Printscreen the pics will go to the directory where is Script is. how can i make it so the pics will go to a default folder...

so if i make a folder on the desktop, and i press printscreen with your dll is it possible to get the pic in that folder without the dll or the script placed in that folder?

man that would be awesome ^^

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Very good job Lazycat. This will be very usefull.

PS: If is not a secret the source of Dll, please PM me or post it here

LE: It would be great to have possibility to capture in memory and return a HBITMAP handle.
