I'm working on a UNO (Msn-based) online gaming tool - you know the card game. It's the second version with more features for UNO fans. I would like to get the screenshot function to work.
It's just as simple as this: The UNO main window
The screenshot viewer shows the screenshot of the active window (which appears by clicking on "Screenshot"): (This form is named as "Screenshot", the Picture Box "myPictureBox")
My question is, which code do I need to bind these functions. I think the pictures are describing this good enough. (The "save screenshot"-button is ToolStripButton1, the button for making screenshot is ToolStripButton10).
I want to get a screenshot that is behind Firefox.
That means. I want to hide firefox in that picture so i can see everything behind it.
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 ?

And also, what if the screen saver comes up? Will the underlying screen still be copied???
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.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to have VB.NET take a screenshot of a specific area in a program?
View 13 RepliesI stumbled upon an excellent article about taking screenshots of specific windows in .NET, and doing something with black and white color rectangles behind those windows in order to preserve the aero effect when saving a screenshot to a PNG.Well, I can't find that article anymore, mainly because crap sites and other stuff not at all associated with taking screenshots SEO'd their way into Google's results.Does anyone know how I can take a screenshot of a specific window while preserving the aero effect?

make a program in VB.net Ultimate 2010 that will take screenshot of the current desktop and save it to MS Access Database 2000 in a single click of button.
The challenge is the form. Form must be hide first before taking the screenshot so it will capture only the current desktop. After that, it will automatically saved to the MS Access database 2000. I hope someone can help me out of this stuff.
Im looking for code that will take a screen shot of the screen every X amount of seconds and save it with a filename of like "SSLaptop Todays Date & Time"

View 8 RepliesI 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.

Basically on my case 3 I want it to save everything that's been on the console window. It should save it to here: Dim fileToSave As String = "AllDataOnConsoleWindow.txt"
In my application I'm creating a style like this[code]...
And I would like to save this style when the application exits so that when the application runs next time it would load my new style.
I tried this for my forms, but because I am setting the position with a re-size function and anchors as well, it does not seem to work quite right.
I end up with grey lines (edge of a control I think), and some of my text boxes loose their position. What do you recommend? [URL]
Is there any way to save a form window state including all of the controls etc that it has on it in their current state? I'm having to write long functions for each control just to save and reload from a config file, so I'm spending more time on user saved settings than on my actual project.

View 2 RepliesI have this Quiz software that lets you create online multiple choice quizzes which are great for studying (I am in grad school and I'm trying to use everything I can to learn). So the Quiz software is great but it only lets you input questions by hand, one by one. I took a look at the .xml file that the quiz program spits out and came up with the idea to try and make a converter so that I can import many questions at once. I was hoping to try and solve this limitation by doing the following:
Take a .doc that say a tutor gives us with a bunch of practice questions, and then take that into Crimson Editor, and then format it so the question is on line 1, the multiple choice answers are on lines 3,4,5, and 6, (for the next question, the question would be on line 11, and the answers on lines 13, 14, 15, and 16, and so on) and then take that saved .txt file into my program, hit the generate button, and it will spit out the .xml file, and then import that into the quiz software to generate the online quiz.
Here is an attached screenshot of my program layout so far:
I figured out how to open a text file by watching simple youtube tutorials, but I don't know how to have it generate the stuff and have it show up in the bottom text box. I know how to do the coding to convert the txt to proper xml code but I don't know how to be able to save the contents of the bottom text window to an xml file.
I know how to get a screenshot but how to I add the cursor into the picture (including when the cursor changes)? [code]
