Gar Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Is there a quick way to grab the image of a control so I can place it in my GUI? What I'm looking to do is create a sort of 'help tool' where you mouseover a control in another window and an image of that control appears in my GUI along with some text. I searched and couldn't find a quick way to grab the exact graphic for a control. Does anyone know of one?
Gogeta70 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Why not just take a screenshot of the entire gui and open the screenshot in photoshop or whatever and crop the individual controls?
Gar Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 I'm not sure what you're suggesting, but my program's point is to provide dynamic analysis of the controls in another window. I'd like to 'grab' the appearance of the other control and place it in my gui temporarily in a 'this is what you're looking at' window.
