Hey, if you ever move to Dabo, the whole thing is a one-liner:

Hi Michael,

few lines of code to do the full job using the GdiPlusX library!

http://www.codeplex.com/VFPX/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=1711

Download the zip at the link, extract only

Source\Drawing.vct

Source\Drawing.vcx

Source\Drawing2D.vct

Source\Drawing2d.vcx

Source\Imaging.vct

Source\Imaging.vcx

Source\System.vcx

Source\System.vct

Source\Text.vct

Source\Text.vcx

Then run the following code to capture the screen in a file:

<code>

local loGdiPlusX

loGdiPlusX = newobject("xfcSystem", "system.vcx")

local loBmp as xfcBitmap

loBmp = loGdiPlusX.Drawing.Bitmap.FromScreen()

loBmp.Save("ScreenCapture.jpg", loGdiPlusX.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)

</code>

you can also use this syntax to capture the current form

loBmp = loGdiPlusX.Drawing.Bitmap.FromScreen(Thisform)

or this syntax to capture the vfp screen area

loBmp = loGdiPlusX.Drawing.Bitmap.FromScreen(_screen)

Then when less "under pressure" take a look at the full contenent of the GdiPlusX zip,

it contains a project full of runnable samples.

Sorry, you need more files from the GdiPlusX zip, not only

Source\System.vcx

Source\System.vct

They are all in the Source folder:

Drawing.vct

Drawing.vcx

Drawing2D.vct

Drawing2d.vcx

Imaging.vct

Imaging.vcx

System.vct

System.vcx

Text.vct

Text.vcx

For this specific need, the files

> Source\Drawing.vcx

> Source\System.vcx

> Source\System.vct

Probably will make it work.

But the header files (*.h) are still needed !

Hope this helps
