Taking In-game Screenshots - Take A Screenshot - Either Comes Out Completely Black ?
May 1, 2012
I'm working on a program which will allow users to take screenshots of full screen games, such as Call of Duty, Battlefield 3, etc. However, I'm having two issues with my code. First off, I'm having to press the shortcut twice, instead of once like my other shortcuts. This only occurs when the code below is actually in the handling sub. If I just have a messagebox show when the shortcut is pressed, it works every time. Second, whenever I take a screenshot, it either comes out completely black, or takes a shot of my desktop, even though there is a game running in the foreground. I have looked around, and it seems that printscreen is the only way to get a screenshot of a game through vb.net.
My code is below.
Private Sub game_Press(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As Shortcut.HotKeyEventArgs) Handles gamewindow.press
Dim gamewin As RECT
If GetWindowRect(GetForegroundWindow, gamewin) Then
Dim bmp As Bitmap
[CODE]...

In my VB6 programs (internal to our organzation) I have always liked taking screenshots upon the occurence of an error to give me more clues as to its cause but somehow I have read somewhere that it may be in violation to some law (privacy / data protection).In the project I am currently developing and it will be for marketing I have used the same method but upon reading about the warning I am now somehow hesitant to use it although it has proved useful in the past.

Any way to prevent my application from taking screen shot. I am using this method
If Clipboard.ContainsImage = True Then Clipboard.Clear()
If this is correct? And also what about screen capture application they take the screen shot without using clipboard what is logic behind it and if there is any way to resolve it?

I 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?

Is there anyway I can do a a custom screen shot? like the height and width of it? This is what I want to do
Left = 18
top = 556
right = 914
bottom = 289
So a regular screenshot on my pc is 1152 by 864. So how would I say do a 300 by 400 screenshot?

I'm taking a screenshot as a System.Drawing.Bitmap and trying to send it through a network as a byte array.If I take the original screenshot and simply save it to disk, it's about 200Kb.Instead I'm saving it to a memorystream so I can write that back to a Byte Array and it's coming out over 6Mb.

I trying to figure out how to take a snapshot of the image in a WebBrowser control so I can copy it into a PictureBox. I'm not talking about copying a specific image from within the web page, just taking a snapshot of the overall view visible in the browser window. Unfortunately my knowledge of VB .NET's graphics, image, and bitmap commands is very limited.

I am having trouble with a blackjack game I am creating
I have buttons 1 - 13 (A-K)
I have 5 Textboxes which when the above buttons are pressed displays the values in the textboxes.
I also have one more textbox which adds up the values of the above 5 textboxes to give your Black Jack Total.
The problem I have is if an Ace (11) is in one of the textboxes and the Total Value exceeds 21 I need to have the Ace (11) change its value to 1 instead.
textbox 1 - 5 will be the card values
textbox6.text will be the total Value
I have tried......
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox1.text = 11 then textbox1.text = 1
This seems to work fine however it only solves the problem of an Ace (11) appearing in textbox1.text so i tried to repeat the code with the other boxes...
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox1.text = 11 then textbox1.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox2.text = 11 then textbox2.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox3.text = 11 then textbox3.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox4.text = 11 then textbox4.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox5.text = 11 then textbox5.text = 1
However this does not work and my program freezes?

I'm not positive if this should be here or in graphics so I'm sorry if I'm posting it in the wrong section.I'm trying to make a program for the game Go. Now before getting upset that I want to make the game go I just want to say that I have looked for months for this specific thing and I still have yet to find it. I want to make something to simulate go so that two people can play on the same computer. The problem I ran into was capturing stones. Stones are captured when surrounded and then they are taken from the board. The problem is that I don't know how to make the program know when a black stone is surrounded.
I have thought of a grid detecting but the possibilites on a 19x19 area are too high for anybody to sit down and program. I have also thought of using picture boxes and the edges to detect other pictures, but there are ways for stones to group together and the opponent must surround all stones to capture them.

How do i insert the images during an customize installation?
For example, when i was installing Skype, screenshots of Skype appeared during the installation. How would i make that during my installation, with images appeared and disappeared just like skype. I know i could use code to bring back and front, but that is not how i wanted it to be. I tried that code before, but doesnt look good enough.

I'm looking for visual basic.net code (for visual basic express) to take automatic screenshots (timeout=60 seconds) for application testing. But every code has a lot of bugs:For example: [URL]Errors like:
Error 1 'Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(disposing As Boolean)' has multiple definitions with identical signatures.
Error 2 'Private Sub InitializeComponent()' has multiple definitions with identical signatures.
Error 3 'components' is already declared as 'Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer' in this class.

Okay, so I know how to capture a screenshot of the Active Window, but if the active window is a game, then the screen is just black. What do I need to do to be able to also capture ingame screens?

I have a screencasting program where it takes 10 screenshots every second and saves it to a temporary directory then through ffmpeg the series of images are compiled into a video format. My problem is that due to the computers processing power or the size of each screenshot and its quality it sometimes takes longer than 100 Milliseconds to create one causing the whole video to be off balance. How can I ensure 100% that 10 Images will be stored?

Basically I have created a windows service using VB 2008 where I am trying to capture screenshots periodically.
The timer is working fine and I have tested this.
The purpose of the service is to monitor the desktop over night when the user is logged off, by capturing screenshots and saving them to file. This is so admin can be alarmed about security breaches etc.
The problem is is that I have not found a way to capture desktop screenshots as a windows service (or otherwise) while the windows logon screen is active (i.e: when the user locks the computer). I have used google extensively but to no avail

I am trying to create an application that records screenshots every 50 milliseconds... And It works below:

Dim b As Bitmap = New Bitmap(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height)

But after 30 seconds I see an ArgumentException on the second line...
Does anyone have a solution or an alternate method of capturing the screen like this?

I am using the web browser control to generate screenshots of an intranet application developed in ASP.NET.
The screenshot is generated, compressed and then stored as a BLOB in the database. When I developed this facility I investigated the best way of compressing the image (to the lowest byte size), however the images still seem to be too big as the database table is growing larger than I hoped. I am using the TIFF format, but I am now thinking that this may not be the best as it is used by photographers (who I assume require good quality photographs). Here is the code to compress the image (before it is stored as a BLOB):
