Hi guys,

Need some help.

I need to capture the screen and automatically save it into a bmp file. The only command i know is:

Set Picture1.Picture = CaptureScreen()

but I don't want to output the picture instead i want to save the capturescreen say in c:\screen.bmp.

Thanks a million

PictureBox control has the Picture object that handles the actual file and graphics. To save a Picture object to file (Windows Bitmap format) is using the method SavePicture (Picture, FileName)

where is Picture is a Picture Object (e.g PictureBox1.Picture where PictureBox1 is a PictureBox Control) and a String variable Filename (Full or relative path the save the file).

e.g to save a graphics loaded in Picture1 control (a PictureBox control) to filename "C:\Iamanoob.bmp". do this

If Picture1.Picture Is Not Nothing
SavePicture Picture1.Picture, "C:\Iamanoob.bmp"
End If
