Here I am once again, trying to make yet another program. am currently looking for a method to screenshot when the user clicks.?Example: When you open the program, and click, it will capture a screenshot and automatically save it to a folder. This will continue until the program is closed.
I picked vb.net for this question since it's the only prgramming language I am fairly familair with, but if C++ or something else is more suited for this, I am willing to learn something new.What I am trying to do is:Retrieve text from database (this already works in vb.net) and copy it to clipboard Switch primary screen to the external application I want to work with (example: word or open office) Emulate key-press "Enter" Paste text and hit enter again Emulate key-press CTRL and then emulate a click on a pre-defined spot on the screen (like 500pixels from left, 740pixels from top). Save screenshot, using a second value from the database as the filename (the naming part should be easy) Emulate another click on another pre-defined spot Repeat for next text in database.I wouldn't know where to start, though. I guess the most important part of what I'm trying to achieve is; switching focus to an external application and emulate keypresses and mouse clicks on it.
I have a program that has the ability to take a screenshot of a Panel on a form.I provide the user with a Save File Dialog box to choose the path of the saved .png image.My problem is that if the user does not move the modal Save File Dialog box out of the way before clicking the save button, the screenshot includes the box over the top of the panel.
I'm trying to take a screenshot of my screen, and get the picture from memory. Then convert it to a string so it can be sent over a network. So far I've tried to adapt this code.
I wanna take screenshot of a Panel and its contents. The code which I use now is taking the screenshot but the contents which are beyond the scrollbars are not capture in the image.
how to take screenshot of entire panel without scroll bar and the entire content beyond the scroll bars
Is is possible to create and save a screenshot image within an application? Basically what I want to do is if an error occurs on a form or web app, I want to capture and save an image of the screen/form from within the application...like, within a Try Catch construct
I'm using the code below to get a screenshot of the entire screen.
VB.NET Dim b As New Bitmap(Me.Width, _ Me.Height, _
[Code]....
But I need to edit it so that it only takes the a screenshot of my form. I'm not sure how to pass the absolute coordinates of my form's top most left corner and it's bottom most right corner.
Everything seems to be working perfectly, but i bumped into a situation were i dont know how to handle.If the target website has some ajax information that needs to be loaded after the ready state, i get a screenshoot of the page with no data, because the data was not loaded yet.
I have this code i have obtaned on the forums. And it seems to only take a picture of picture boxes. I have text over it that is not caught in the picture.
s = InputBox("Enter picture name.", "Name", "Name") Dim r As Rectangle = New Rectangle(109, 22, 228, 305) Dim img As New Bitmap(r.Width, r.Height)
Is there a method to hide your application from screenshots without the use of ".hide" or minimize or opacity basically not touching the application at all but not including it in the screenshot? For instance in GDI when you g.CopyfromScreen the mouse is not included and you would have to go through a way drawing the mouse onto the graphic can something like this be achieved with application?
Is there a way I can take a screenshot of a window that is not the active window? I want to give the user his current open windows and he select one of them as the target window for the SS, my target is to let him work on one window while my application will take ss of not active window.. what is the best way to accomplish that ?
I'm trying to make a program that kinda works like Windows 7 when you put you're mouse over a program in the taskbar, and it pops up a small realtime screenshot of the running program while its minimized.Anyone know how I can go about doing this? I took a small code from the internet, but I always a error "Generic Error occurred in GDI+".[code]
am wanting to create a blur effect kind of thing, so when I download a file asynchronously in the background the form would be blured. I couldn't work out how to do this, or if it was even possible so I can up with this.1) Take screenshot of form2) Blur the image3) Put the image in a picturebox which is ontop of all the controls (Topmost)So say I had a form like thi
I have a picturebox. I want to at certain points take a screenshot of whatever is in that picturebox and write it to a bitmap variable.The images in the box will be of varying sizes and i will be tracking the sizes using image.height and image.width. I would like to use those to define the area for my screenshot.
I'm currently using the following code to take a screenshot of my desktop:
Dim r As Rectangle = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea Dim bmp As New Bitmap(r.Width, r.Height) Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
[code].....
I'd like some direction in taking a screenshot of just a specific area. The area I need is where the rectangle encapsulates. If 've played around with it for a while tyring to figure out how to just take a screenshot of the rectangular area, but can't seem to figure it out.
I wrote some code for a program I am making to take a screenshot when the program is minimized. Thing is something is wrong with the code and I am not sure what it is. Whenever I take a screenshot the program is taking the picture with the application up and not minimized.
So what I need it to do is minimize the application then take the screenshot and then reopen the program after its taken the screenshot. for the noob question but I am brand new to the VB and only been coding it in for less then a day.
I know how to take a screenshot, but how can I take a screenshot of the screen behind my form without hiding the form, taking the screenshot, then showing the form again?The reason I can't simply hide the form to capture the screen behind it is that I need to take the screenshot repeatedly, and hiding the form each time I need to take the screenshot would cause the form to flicker.
Here is the code I'm using now:
Me.Opacity = 0 ' Hides the form. Can't use this! Dim bounds As Rectangle = Me.Bounds Dim screenshot As New Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height, Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb) Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(screenshot)
I'm making some Aero-style transparent forms (signature), and they work just fine. However, to get a screenshot of the area behind the form using Graphics. CopyFromScreen(), the form has to be less than 100% Opacity, so CopyFromScreen doesn't include the window in the picture. This also means that when you have more than one open, they see through each other.
I want to make a program that will take a screenshot inside the bounds of a rectangle. Is there a way to do this? I don't want to use sendkeys{"(prtsc)"} because that doesn't take a screenshot of only an area on the form.
