Capture

[franzkafka]

Hello!!. Please, someone knows where can i find an OCX for capturing the screen to a gif, jpg bmp.. file?
Thanks.

Hi.

I don't know any OCX that does what you want, but for BMP, the standard SAVEPICTURE command in VB should do the job for BMP format.
For JPG, take a look at Fox's web page (http://orion.spaceports.com/~mccloud/index.html) there is a lot of nice samples there and there is one for saving a form/picturebox to a JPG file. I haven't looked at it yet, Ijust know its there.
For GIF.... well , beats me!

Good luck!

Just declare the APIs
GetDesktopWindow
and
GetDC or GetWindowDC
BitBlt

than you can blt the desctop to a picturebox. Alain already explained how to save it. It's like a 10 line program.
