VS 2010 - Capturing Part Of Screen (Bitmap)
May 20, 2012
I'm looking to make a program that would capture your whole screen, then have the picture display on the screen (simulating a frozen screen) to where the person handling the program could select a partial segment of the screen with their mouse and then save to a folder.
1. I have no idea how to go by doing this
2. My form is constantly minimized, so I have to do it without MouseDown on the form and whatnot.
How would I go by doing this?

I'm trying to create a DLL with some useful methods and subs for my use. But when I tried declaring an object for Form or using the keyword Screen, Bitmap, etc.. gives an error saying that "The type 'Screen' is not defined" and like that..

I am trying to make a simple personal program and cannot figure out how to capture a section of the screen.I want it to work like prt scr does except it captures a specified rectangle instead of the entire screen. I am thinking I have to use Drawing.Graphics but am not sure.

i use with this code: Dim bounds As Rectangle
Dim screenshot As System.Drawing.Bitmap Dim graph As Graphics bounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds
screenshot = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
graph = Graphics.FromImage(screenshot)
graph.CopyFromScreen(bounds.X, bounds.Y, 0, 0, bounds.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy)
PictureBox1.Image = screenshot
But when I try it in games,it shows only a black picture.

I'm just wondering if it's possible to add the mouse when capturing the screen or monitor in vb.net?
because I'm doing a project that would record the screen and I'm actually successfull doing that by capturing the screen and include it in a timer, but my only problem is the mouse or the cursor isn't showing.
below is my sample code.
Dim ScreenSize As Size = New Size(TotalScreenWitdh, MonitorHeightArray(0))
Dim BMP As New Bitmap(TotalScreenWitdh, MonitorHeightArray(0))

Edit: Fixed, I created a compatibleDC for the graphics object, and a handle for the bitmap (using b.gethbitmap), then used the SelectObject function inside GDI to select those two, and used the compatibleDC instead of hDc in the BitBlt function I've been trying to draw a bitmap to the screen (device 0), however I have encountered a problem copying the graphics using BitBlt.
Initially, I was drawing directly to the desktop using SetPixel (gdi32), but it was slow, so now I am setting the pixels of a bitmap object and then creating graphics from that object, and copying the hdc of the graphics to the screen.My guess is that I am adding the HDC of the graphics object to an intptr, which essentially gives me the HDC of the container of the graphics object, which is not what I need. However even so, I have not found any information on how I could copy a bitmap to a device other than using BitBlt.
This is my current code (Windows forms app, textbox, button) The textbox is the device to copy to, and the button starts it. For testing purposes, set the textbox text to 0, and press the button. You should see a black box (50x50px) in the top left corner of your screen. The colour should be blue if it is working correctly:
Public Class Form1
Declare Function GetDC Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As Int32) As Int32
Declare Function ReleaseDC Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As Int32, ByVal hdc As Int32) As Int32
[code]....
The way it works is it calls the function setpx, given a location and color from within a loop iterating through all of the pixels in a box (50x50 in my code). The setpx function will then call the setpixel fuction on a bitmap b. This part is working fine.Next, it will define a graphics object g from the bitmap, and I use BitBlt to copy g's hdc (g.gethdc) to the screen. This is not working correctly?

I am trying to take a png file (around 2000 x 2400) and split it into 8 smaller images of 500 x 1250 each (2 rows of 4), each of which is saved as a png file. I then which to display these smaller png files in a picture box so that they look as if they were one image.
My problem is that when I display the png files in the picture box, lines that look like grid lines show up in the picture box at the points where the png files sit next to each other.
When I view the smaller png files in Paint it appears as if the left column (x=0)and top row (y=0) of each file is set to clear (or transparent). What shows up in the picture box is the background colour of the picture box.
This clear/transparent row and column are not added on to size of the smaller png files. They are still 500 x 1250.Not every file is affected. If the smaller files are created from the original bitmap in the following order[code]...

I created a bitmap, that is supposed to be displayed on the screen, in the middle. It will have to be on top of EVERYTHING!! Even if a full screen application is running, I want it to show. My questions are: Is it possible to even display a CUSTOM MADE bitmap on the screen?

There is Bitmap data on the clipboard from a screen capture. If I paste it into a RichTextBox it works OK. That is, if I remove the first two lines below.
Dim clipboardDataO As DataObject = CType(Clipboard.GetDataObject(), DataObject)
Clipboard.SetDataObject(clipboardDataO)
RichTextBoxTxt.Paste(DataFormats.GetFormat(DataFormats.Bitmap))
However, If I capture the clipboard data and restore it before I paste I no longer get my bitmap displayed in the box. My problem is, in the real situation I need to use the clipboard before I paste which is why I save it and restore it above.
1) Do you know why restoring doesn't appear to work here?
2) I can't paste before the save/restore. Is there something else I can do?

I am working on a vb.net app that is capturing a screen shot then crops down to the "status bar" of a particular application this image is then converted to black and white. I crop off the left portion of this to compare to a preset image. this is where the app breaks as for some reason it shows the images being the same no matter what. here is where i think the problem is but i also attached full source in case its needed

How I can compare a gif image I have with a certain part of the screen. For example lets say I have the gif for the Close window button (top right hand of the window incase your confused). I would want the program to check the top right hand of the screen in the exact coordinates and see if the pixels match. if so return a variable true.

I have been working on an image capturing tool for a long time now & I was wondering how some of those programs are able to make an aero capture of a form.I know you can capture a window if you have it's handle by using the BitBlt, but that doesn't keep the transparancy of the aero form.Let me give you an example:I did a lot of research on google but I never found anything close to something that explains how to do it.

But I dont know how to apply it to my code. please help me. i wanted to collect standardoutput and standarderror and append it to a textbox. here is my code,As far as I understand, I have to read one stream synchronously and one asynchronously to avoid deadlock situations.But now it's not output in the same time. having delay issue for standarderror.

I have 6 bitmaps, all the same size. Their ImageFormat is Format32bppPArgb. Sometimes when I try to resize the bitmaps I get the Out of Memory message. This doesn't happen all the time, only after about six or seven resizes.In Task Manager, the program's memory use never goes above 800k.Is there a way to resize a Bitmap without creating a new one?If I have to recreate the Bitmap, do I need to dispose the current one (or set it to Nothing)?

I have scanned a few img's on 600 DPI. When i load them into a Bitmap class They have Vertical and Horizontal Resolution of 96 PPI To my calculation that is very close to 38 Pixels per centimeter. Now the image that I scanned is 4.5 Centimeter (1.77165354 Inch) In Diameter but When I measure It the 4.5 cm img is close to 1080 pixel in Diameter which is 240 Pixels/Centimeter (609.6 Pixels/inch) What is the correct way to get the actual Pixels per inch/centimeter from a bitmap or was it set incorrectly by my scanner ?

I am trying to make an application that can do effects to images but the problem is when I use large photos its takes a very very long time. I am reading it per pixel with bitmap's GetPixel and SetPixel methods. Is there anyway to make this process faster without using C# or C++?

I was wondering how to draw characters/string on a bitmap.For example: I have created a new Bitmap with resolution of 200x200. Now using Graphics.DrawString(), I have to draw text. I can draw text. But my question is, I want to fill it the image with that string.Say, the text be "abc".So, the output would look like this for 200x200 bitmap (assumption):
