direction to some methods that can capture the contents of a form so that it can be saved as an image. The catch is, the form may not always be displayed on the screen, so BitBlt doesn't work for this particular scenario.
View 8 RepliesI play a game and in the game you acquire skills which you can display on the screen in a box very similar to a data grid. The grid has 3 columns and X number of rows.Column 1 is the name of the skill, column 2 has a descriptive term like "Beginner" and column has the number of points you have acquired in that skill. So it would look something like this:[code]Remember that it is in a data grid so it has cells like an Excel spreed sheet.The program that I use is able to parse the skill name and the points and save that information outside the game to a n area in the program.My question is, is this possible to do something similar in VB? That is something like, Press a hot key, with will get a screen shot, parse the data and save to a data grid in my VB program.

View 1 RepliesI need to show video in a picturebox, and when a button is pressed, capture the frame. I am making a desktop qr reader. I have the qr reader completed and working. my issue is my camera now. I would prefer something that actually works, and doesn't have severe memory leak issues, and doesn't throw an exception after it's first or second use. Would AviCap32 or Direct Show be better for what I want? Which would capture the image fastest, without causing exceptions? I tried using an open source solution called webcam_capture.dll, and it worked at first, but now I am getting an exception that I dont know how to fix. I'm assuming this goes in vbGeneral, and not the Interop and Upgrade. Most examples I have seen, use interop, so I wasn't sure. I would prefer not to use WIA. I have attempted it, and it doesn't work quite right on my computer, and this application will be distributed.
View 12 RepliesI'm attempting to grab an image from a webcam without having to connect a driver to a window. I'm predominately using code from a devx tutorial. On page two of the tutorial, it shows how to grab a frame using WM_CAP_EDIT_COPY. The only problem is, I don't want a preview window. I want to simply grab the image without having to associate a window handle to a PictureBox for previewing.

View 8 RepliesI want to capture the image of my webbrowser, or actually just a part of it.I already achieved it, but it just takes a screenshot of it instead of capturing the bitmap itself. So when i use this technique and you drag another window above it, the window is also captured. (this is what I don't want.)
My code:
' 1. Get the WebBrowsers bitmap.
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(WebBrowser1.Width, WebBrowser1.Height)
Dim BMPEndResult As Bitmap
Dim graph As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
[code]....
So I need to get the image of the webbrowser:
- without the scrollbars if possible
- Even if the window is minimized or in the task bar
- Full webbrowser
- and also if possible just a part of it, where I can specify the top, left, width and height
