Is this what you are looking to do

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

$h = WinGetHandle("Program Manager")

_ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd(@ScriptDir & "\testing.bmp", $h,0,0,@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight)

thank you picea,

but your code screencapure whole desktop.

I want to sreencapture window with focus, post image to define better my request:

with:

$size = WinGetPos("[active]")
tooltip($size[0] & " " & $size[1] & " " & $size[2] & " " & $size[3],0,0)

I obtain :

x = $size[0]

y = $size[1]

width = $size[2]

height = $size[3]

For difference with @DesktopWidth @DesktopHeight and these values, I should obtain :

left = ?

top = ?

right = ?

bottom = ?

But can't deduce whic are values to use...

Anyone can help ?

Thank you,

m.

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

Run('calc.exe')
WinWaitActive('Calculator')

Dim $aPos = WinGetPos('Calculator')
_ScreenCapture_Capture(@ScriptDir & '\TestCalc.bmp', $aPos[0], $aPos[1], $aPos[0]+$aPos[2], $aPos[1]+$aPos[3])
ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & '\testcalc.bmp')

After you have the position array you need to add the width to the x coordinate to get the right and the same for the height because specifying $iLeft as 44 and the window width is 55 but sending $iRight 55 is wrong, it should be 99.

made this little script, that 'map' in middle mouse button abilty to snapshot windows with focus:

#Include <Misc.au3>
#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
#Include <WinAPI.au3>

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

while 1

;if middle mouse is pressed
    If _IsPressed("04", $dll)  Then
        $aPos = WinGetPos("[active]")
    ; Capture window with focus
        _ScreenCapture_Capture(@ScriptDir & '\snap\TestCalc' & _Date_Time_GetTickCount() & '.jpg', $aPos[0], $aPos[1], $aPos[0]+$aPos[2], $aPos[1]+$aPos[3])
        sleep(1000)
    EndIf
    
    
    sleep(100)
    
wend

DllClose($dll)

But often script exit with an error

_WinAPI_CreateCompatibleBitmap: Parametro non corretto.

I think I must delete GDI resource every cicle, but can't understand how, anyone can help me ?

thank you,
