Hmm... I'm looking for a way to do a screen print of only the topmost window, not the entire screen. Ideally, I'd have a tray icon that, when clicked, sends an image of the topmost window to the default printer.

I can handle the tray icon coding easily enough, but what commands (if any) will handle the image printing? Is there a DLL to accomplish this?

As always, I'm dazed and confused.

Try the VDSDLL 3 of Tommy...

Thanks, but I don't see it. Are you referring to VDSCAP? If so, how do I use it to send the captured image to the default printer?

[Skit3000]

Use this to capture a part of the screen:

dll capture,capture,@path(%0)screenshot.bmp,20,0,250,200

To get the positions of the window, use @winpos()... To print it, use shell print,@path(%0)screenshot.bmp

I'll give that a try and post the results. Thanks!

VDSCAP.DLL is basically the same thing as the VDSDLL version. You
might want to use VDSCAP since it is smaller to distribute instead of
unnecessarily distributing the entire VDSDLL.

And if you're doing it manually you can also do:

ALT+Print Screen on your keyboard.

Yes, but then you can't use it with VDS...

Yes, but what kind of forum is this? "Copy & Paste for Dummies" or an advanced forum about a real good programming language?

Well I'll let you decide that for yourself. Personally I feel that this is about
Visual DialogScript but any alternatives won't hurt.
