Anyways here is the tutorial:

FORM 1

What you need:
*4 Buttons - name "B1 = "Capture Screen" - B2 = "Save Image" - B3 = "Watch Picture" - B4 = "New Picture".
*Picture box [Just hide it somewhere]

Full Code:

Code: Select all

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim bounds As Rectangle
        Dim screenshot As System.Drawing.Bitmap
        Dim graph As Graphics
        bounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds
        screenshot = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
        graph = Graphics.FromImage(screenshot)
        graph.CopyFromScreen(bounds.X, bounds.Y, 0, 0, bounds.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy)
        PictureBox1.Image = screenshot
        Do Until Me.Height = 136
            Me.Height = Me.Height + 1
        Loop
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Dim savefiledialog1 As New SaveFileDialog
        Try
            savefiledialog1.Title = "Save Captured Image"
            savefiledialog1.FileName = "Screenshot Image 1"
            savefiledialog1.Filter = "All Type Of Image Files|*.*|Joint Photographic Experts Group [JPEG]|*.jpg|Bitmap [BMP|*.bmp|Tagged Image File Format [TIFF]|*.tiff|Portable Network Graphics [PNG]|*.png"
            If savefiledialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
                PictureBox1.Image.Save(savefiledialog1.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
        End Try
        Do Until Me.Height = 136
            Me.Height = Me.Height + 1
        Loop
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        Form2.Show()
        Do Until Me.Height = 85
            Me.Height = Me.Height - 1
        Loop
    End Sub


    Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
        Do Until Me.Height = 59
            Me.Height = Me.Height - 1
        Loop
    End Sub

End Class

OR THE SAME ONLY SINGLED:

Button 1:

        graph.CopyFromScreen(bounds.X, bounds.Y, 0, 0, bounds.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy)
        PictureBox1.Image = screenshot
        Do Until Me.Height = 136
            Me.Height = Me.Height + 1
        Loop

Button 2:

Code: Select all

        Dim savefiledialog1 As New SaveFileDialog
        Try
            savefiledialog1.Title = "Save Captured Image"

            savefiledialog1.Filter = "All Type Of Image Files|*.*|Joint Photographic Experts Group [JPEG]|*.jpg|Bitmap [BMP|*.bmp|Tagged Image File Format [TIFF]|*.tiff|Portable Network Graphics [PNG]|*.png"
            If savefiledialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
                PictureBox1.Image.Save(savefiledialog1.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
        End Try
        Do Until Me.Height = 136
            Me.Height = Me.Height + 1
        Loop

Button 3:

Code: Select all

        Form2.Show()
        Do Until Me.Height = 85
            Me.Height = Me.Height - 1
        Loop

Button 4:

Code: Select all

        Do Until Me.Height = 59
            Me.Height = Me.Height - 1
