Problem with ScreenCapture

Aaron · Post by **Aaron** » Thu May 17, 2007 11:56 pm

Is ScreenCapture suppose to capture the desktop or the active window?

My script is below, after running the script I go and look at the image of screen and its a portion of my desktop, not the active window

Also my MessageModal will not stay on top,

Code: Select all

Let>MSG_STAYONTOP=1

Code: Select all

label>Compair
wait>1.5
ScreenCapture>117,100,360,255,C:\screen.bmp
CompareBitmaps>C:\screen.bmp,C:\accounts.bmp,match
If>match=95
Let>MSG_STAYONTOP=1
MessageModal>Screens Match
ELSE
Goto>Compair
Endif

Any thoughts would be appreciated

It will capture whatever area of the screen you define. The coordinates will be based on the top left corner of the screen = 0,0. If you want to make the coordinates relative to a particular window then you'll need to first use GetWindowPos>window_title,X,Y to get the coordinates of that window and then calculate the x,y to pass to the ScreenCapture.

You are looking for match=95 maybe it's not exactly 95? Maybe >95 would be better? Maybe MDL>%match% would be helpful to test?

It is very unlikely to be exactly anything. Definitely use a greater than check, but test likely outcomes first.

This script will take a screenshot of the active window and saves it to your desktop as Active Window.bmp. In case anyone needs an example.

Code: Select all

wait>2
GetActiveWindow>NAME,X,Y,W,H
let>W=X+W
let>H=Y+H
ScreenCapture>X,Y,W,H,C:\Documents and Settings\%USER_NAME%\Desktop\Active Window.bmp

Enjoy,

Rain

Thanks Rain. Due to the advanced technology of V9 I'm not always able to fire up MS on the laptop when playing on the forum

I had to build an exe for the messagemodual to work.

Thanks for the suggestion to use the > symbol, that worked fine.

I guess I was thinking it would automaticly check to see if it was greater than.

Thats what happens when theres a nut lose on the computer

Thanks everyone
