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 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?
View 1 RepliesI'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 have set the Visibility property of the main window to Hidden and added the following in Window_Loaded:
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e){
this.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
}
But it doesn't show up the Window.
I am using the code below, but it still shows the program.For example, if I pass in CALCIt will start the calculator but show it.

At the bottom of the Properties window in the Visual Basic 2010 IDE, there should be a brief description of the selected property. For example "Text: the text associated with thecontrol". But it's reduced to a height of 0 so far as I can tell, and I haven'tfound a way to make it visible. Right-clicking the Properties window and selecting/checking"Description" has no effect. How do I make this pane visible?

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?
