Capture screen

Post by rullbandspelare » Sat Oct 20, 2007 9:16 pm

Hi!
Just to be sure. What are the possibiliies to capture the screen?
1. I have tried "ScreenCapture>" Wich is good. But it overwrites the ClipBoard so that you cant use the ClipBoard.

2. IrfanView is also OK in MS. but the hourglas is coming up when run, wich is not acceptable.

Any other possibilities (without installing a load of other software) or workaround for 1 and 2 above?

Thanks!

Use ScreenCapture> and write the clipboard info to a variable just before you use it. Then write the variable back to the clipboard right after or whenever it makes sense to do so. It will seem as though the clipboard was never touched.

For example:

GetClipboard>clip
ScreenCapture>X1,Y1,X2,Y2,%TEMP_DIR%ScreenCap.bmp
PutClipboard>clip
