Hi Again,

See here a program to capture your screen

You Need...
2 Buttons ( Button 1 "Capture" Button 2 "Save")
1 Picture Box (make its size as bigger as possible)(forpreview)
1 Save File Dialog

Add the following code to Capture Button

Code: Select all

Dim bounds As Rectangle
        Dim screenshots As System.Drawing.Bitmap
        Dim graph As Graphics
        bounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds
        screenshots = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
        graph = Graphics.FromImage(screenshots)
        graph.CopyFromScreen(bounds.X, bounds.Y, 0, 0, bounds.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy)
        PictureBox1.Image = screenshots

Add the following code to Capture Button

Code: Select all

Dim SaveFileDialog1 As New SaveFileDialog
        Try
            SaveFileDialog1.Title = "Save Image"
            SaveFileDialog1.FileName = "*.jpg"
            SaveFileDialog1.Filter = "JPEGp| *.jpg"

            If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
                PictureBox1.Image.Save(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
            End If

        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try

It works..

You can also change the image format or give option as shown in my Previous Tutorial

This has been done so many times, and here's a faster way to capture your screen. Press the "Print Screen" button (PrtSc right by the backspace)

I have already made a tutorial on this, but thanks for trying to contribute to the site at least! cooll;

Yeah, but with that you have to PrtSc, then paint, then paste in paint, then save. With this, it is push button, push save. IMO PrtSc is not faster...

Hello shabs,

Good work and if you combine it with the image convertor code you posted you will have yourself a great little screen capture tool.

Its true that we have had similar codes posted before but its always good to see new members posting their codes ;). Keep it up cooll;

thanks i made one and it works great but only if i could put a hot key for it like when its minimized i could press f9 and it would capture the screen.
