[code]Public Class main Private Sub cmdcap_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdcap.Click Me.Hide() capturesceen() Me.Show() End Sub Private Sub capturesceen() Dim bounds As Rectangle Dim xny As Point Dim screenshot As System.Drawing.Bitmap Dim graph As Graphics bounds = pcbox.ClientRectangle 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) pcbox.Image = screenshot End Sub Private Sub cmdsave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdsave.Click Dim savefiledialog1 As New SaveFileDialog Try savefiledialog1.Title = "Save File" savefiledialog1.FileName = "*.bmp" savefiledialog1.Filter = "Bitmap |*.bmp" If savefiledialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then pcbox.Image.Save(savefiledialog1.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp) End If Catch ex As Exception 'Do Nothing End Try End Sub[/code] when i googled about the same , i came across a similar case.. its weysform....a codeplex open source application... the prob is, its written in C++ (i think so!) .. so help me.. here is the code , which i got frm codeplex website... [code] private Image CaptureFullScreen() { Image MyImage; this.Visible = false; IntPtr dc1 = WinAPI.CreateDC("DISPLAY", null, null, (IntPtr)null); Graphics g1 = Graphics.FromHdc(dc1); MyImage = new Bitmap(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height, g1); Graphics g2 = Graphics.FromImage(MyImage); Visible = false; dc1 = g1.GetHdc(); IntPtr dc2 = g2.GetHdc(); WinAPI.BitBlt(dc2, 0, 0, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height, dc1, 0, 0, 13369376); g1.ReleaseHdc(dc1); g2.ReleaseHdc(dc2); Visible = true; g2.Dispose(); return MyImage; } private Image CapturePartial() { Image MyImage; this.Visible = false; IntPtr dc1 = WinAPI.CreateDC("DISPLAY", null, null, (IntPtr)null); Graphics g1 = Graphics.FromHdc(dc1); MyImage = new Bitmap(captureArea.Width, captureArea.Height, g1); Graphics g2 = Graphics.FromImage(MyImage); Visible = false; dc1 = g1.GetHdc(); IntPtr dc2 = g2.GetHdc(); WinAPI.BitBlt(dc2, 0, 0, captureArea.Width, captureArea.Height, dc1, Left+captureArea.X, Top + captureArea.Y, 13369376); g1.ReleaseHdc(dc1); g2.ReleaseHdc(dc2); Visible = true; g2.Dispose(); return MyImage; } private void WeysForm_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) { if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) contextMenu.Show(this, new Point(e.X, e.Y)); } private void WeysForm_DoubleClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { menuItemCaptureSave_Click(null, null); } [/code] i hope thats enough to explain ma stuff... help me as soon as possible... here is ma application looks..
