This error message means: Access Violation C0000005 - a Read or Write Access Violation occurs when the application attempts to read or write memory from a memory address that is invalid.

I tested it in my Win7 x64 VM and it works properly. I cannot reproduce this issue neither on Win10. :think:

Does the em occur everytime or on special moves? Same issue also with Windows Screenshooter?

Uez,

It occurs everytime on the separate code included for freehand select only.

No issue with Windows Screenshooter

Ok, I got it. The code from 2011 is not x64 compatible when running it using Autoit x64.

This should fix the crash:

Uez, thanks it works. The picture is shown in the gui.

Could you help on how can the picture be placed on clipboard?

I tried clipsetdata at the save file section and its not successful.

Thanks

found another link of yours.

https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/121902-jpg-to-clipboard/?do=findComment&comment=846103

I have to rename _WinAPI_CopyImage to _WinAPI_CopyImageq for it to grab this one instead of default.

The default one hangs for 4seconds before showing the grab screen

Not sure how to dispose

_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)

as in the original script

The script below works. If you have any suggestion on how to make it better do advise in terms of less memory use or streamline. Thanks again

You have to use _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBmpq) as it is a GDI bitmap object.

Uez,

Thank you so much for the help

Just out of curiosity, I ran the example with the built-in screen shot on my Windows 10 machine. It doesn't seem to work any longer. Am I right?

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    ; Capture full screen
    _ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image1.jpg")

    ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image1.jpg")

    ; Capture region
    _ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image2.jpg", 0, 0, 796, 596)

    ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image2.jpg")
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Thanks for any feedback.

@coffeeturtle your examples runs properly on my Win10 machine with x86/x64. Both images are captured and opened without any issue.

...doesn't seem to work any longer...

Which version of AutoIt are you using?

Hmmm.... good question. I am on 3.3.14.3. Apparently, I am two minor versions behind as the current one is 3.3.14.5. Looks like there are no script breaking changes between .3 and .5...I will update and retry today, UEZ. Thanks.
