Printscreen: places the entire screen image into the clipboard.
Alt-Printscreen: places only the active window

In the case of VFP, the active window is anything bound by the VFP main window.


>It's ALT+PrintScreen. When I get the image in paint I cut out the part I want (using the dotted line tool) and then "Edit|Copy to" to copy just the cut-out.

>>Here's the $0 solution I use all the time. Do you see that "PrntScrn" button on your keyboard? If you press it, it will place a bitmap of your whole screen into your clipboard. You can then paste it into any editing package that knows about images.

>>There's a key combo that will copy just the currently active window into your clipboard instead of the whole screen. It's either Shift-PrntScrn, Ctrl-PrntScrn or Alt-PrntScrn. I can never remember which, so I hit all three in that order and always get my image!

>>>In Fox2.6 I used to be able to use the "copy" & "paste" command to place copies of my screens into documents for manuals etc...this approach doesn't work in VFP6...any one with any ideas (apart from generating in the old Fox2.6 & copying these!) will be muchly appreciated.
