Screen shots

[mwachna]

Is there a command that can capture a screen shot and save it to a file.

This function would be useful aswell for a paint program where as a user can save his picture as "mypic.bmp".

I need to input a name to save the file as, then i need to be able to save that file as an image file of the screen shot.

thanks,

if you create a new pic (save to a variable) it can be saved as a pic, but its not formatted right or something, so you can never open it up again, or so i think...

no. .. . . .you can save it, but only as a .bmp and that takes a lot of memory and HD space *like 2mb per pic.. so yea.. just a caution..

Pic.ScreenSave i beleive is the command.. . have u heard of f10 ? common.

do you want to capture the whole screen or just the turing run window?

Pic.ScreenSave Part of Pic module

Syntax Pic.ScreenSave (x1, y1, x2, y2 : int, fileName : string)

Description: Pic.ScreenSave saves a portion of the screen into a file in a format specified by the file name.

-- straight from the help.
