In this tutorial you will learn how to make a screenshot taker in Visual Basic 2008, I hope. lmao; The program will have a capture button, a save button and a picturebox. If the user presses the capture button the program will take a screenshot and place it in the picturebox. By pressing the save button the content in the picturebox (our screenshot) will be saved as a Bitmap image. You can also save it as a jpg file, but for that you will need to convert the screenshot first. cryer;
1. Double click the Capture button and write:
2. Double click the Save button and write:
1. Double click the Capture button and write:
Code: Select all
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 = screenshot2. Double click the Save button and write:
Code: Select all
Finally, debug it! It should work now. If you get an error, let me know! I hope you understand now how to make a screenshot taker! dunnno;Dim savefiledialog1 As New SaveFileDialog

If savefiledialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
PictureBox1.Image.Save(savefiledialog1.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
'If the program gets an error nothing should be done
End Try
