Hi,

Can we take screenshots of our form windows, to some external files? just
like SalPrtPrintForm ( ) sends data to printer
I've tried with some PDF writers......it requires me some manual
interventions. I have to do it as a batch mode.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Sreeraj

You can see capture.zip sample
+ WM_PRINT for non-visible forms.

You might be able to find what you want by using the SnagIt product:
http://www.techsmith.com/snagit.asp

If has an interface for installing a printer and with that you can 'print'
your screens directly to that. Take a look at their documentation page:
http://www.techsmith.com/learn/snagit/documentation.asp

before you buy - I don't see where you can completely automate by specifying
a filename for the output (I just tried to print this msg to the snagit print
object and specify a file, and I got prompted for a filename).

P.S. I also found SnatIt's COM server interface page:
http://www.techsmith.com/snagit/accessories/comserver.asp

According to that page,
"Using SnagIt’s COM Server, you can easily incorporate SnagIt’s screen capture functionality into your organization’s
proprietary applications. The COM Server lets you customize capture instructions for SnagIt, automate the capture
process and programmatically control SnagIt’s entire array of image and text capture features from within your own
application."
