Thanks Cathy,

Can you do it programatically ?





>Snagit lets you edit the image and add shapes and text and all kinds of things which makes it perfect to circle an item on the screen and add some text describing the item. You can also apply all kinds of affects, such as the look of torn paper. You can also save in a variety of image formats. I swear by Snagit and I use it all the time!!

>>* Capture the form
>>LOCAL loBmp as xfcBitmap
>>loBmp = .Bitmap.FromScreen(Thisform)

>>* Save the image
>>loBmp.Save("c:\MyCapturedForm.png", .Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
>>
>>* Send to the Printer
>>loBmp.ToPrinter()
>>
>>ENDWITH

>>You can capture anything in a form, like a command button or a container too:
>>loBmp = .Bitmap.FromScreen(Thisform.Container1)

>>If you want to use the HWND:

>>Hope this helps

>>>Just a suggestion .. a product called SnagIt by Techsmith is an AWESOME screen capture tool and very reasonably priced. If you're capturing screens to create some kind of documentation, I highly recommend this tool.
