>We all know that holding down the alt key and pressing print screen will capture a screenshot to the clipboard. But, is there a way to do that programatically? I have found nothing in VFP that will allow me to do it, but I thought I'd put this in front of the experts before I discard the idea. . . . just in case.

*
* Declare API call
*
DECLARE INTEGER keybd_event IN Win32API ;
        INTEGER, INTEGER, INTEGER, INTEGER
*
* Do an Alt-Printscreen
*
#DEFINE VK_LMENU 164
#DEFINE VK_SNAPSHOT 44
#DEFINE KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY 1
#DEFINE KEYEVENTF_KEYUP 2
DOEVENTS
keybd_event( VK_LMENU,    0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY, 0 )  && key down
INKEY(0.01)
keybd_event( VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY, 0 )
INKEY(0.01)
keybd_event( VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY + KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0 )
INKEY(0.01)
keybd_event( VK_LMENU,    0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY + KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0 )
DOEVENTS

I've found I need the INKEY() statements in order for it to work reliably.
