Hi Jos,

Not exactly what you are looking for, but this routine copies the current open window to the clipboard.

I also strongly recommend the free GPImage2 utility which you can download at http://cchalom.sites.uol.com.br/GPIMAGE/index.htm. If you modify my routine and/or use a function or two from GPInage, you should be able to get the result you want.

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 )
