Nice one Sparkie. Seems to work ok here. The second time I updated the list and took snapshots the second item in the list didn't seem to work. Anyways, it looks cool. But how come the exe is so big?

Thanks GeoTrail

The exe is a little oversized because I while I did remove the save routine, I forgot to remove...

Code: Select all

UseJPEGImageEncoder()
UsePNGImageEncoder()

I'm getting closer to NT/2000 suppoort, but I think 98 is out for this one. Not a problem for me on this project though.

He he he ok it's easy to forget things like that.
What's the reason it doesn't support Win9x systems?

To be honest, I'm not sure why 98 doesn't cooperate. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Perhaps Fred could stop by this thread...
I'm sure he could figure something out.
If he can't then... then probably nobody
hehehe

Mine worked great in all Windows OS'.... Was smaller.. Faster.. Nicer.. Easyer... And I still dont remember why I didnt share it. Maybe i'll remake it someday.

@dagcrack - Are you saying that your screen grabber could take snapshots of any open window, whether it's in view or not, with any Win OS

The code I posted was just a plucked out sample of what my screen grabber does. In the actual app I'm working on, it works silently in the background with no visual interuptions and no user input required.

If yours can do that, then I'd be interested in seeing it in action.
