Good day to all :)

So I am new to programming and to this application. I have written a script for a small toolbar/app launcher for the department I work in to centralize the copious amounts of applications our phone reps have to use.

I have added a screen capturing button that when they click it, it snaps a screen shot of their screens.

I can get the _ScreenCapture_Capture to work but it doesn't take just one screen shot it. It keeps taking them until you exit out of the program.

I then decided to change it to _ScreenCapture_Saveimage function to save the shot to the desktop but am getting "error: Incorrect number of parameters in function call.

Not sure what I'm leaving out but any help would be greatly appreciated. Please see script below:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <INet.au3>

#include <Word.au3>
#include <excel.au3>
#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

Please look again at the help file entry for _ScreenCapture_SaveImage. The second parameter ($hBitmap) is required, and you would get this from _ScreenCapture_Capture(). That is why you're getting the error.

As for the _ScreenCapture_Capture continuing until you close the GUI, can you explain your methodology? It looks as though you are calling it if the GuiGetMsg() equals $Screen, yet that variable is simply a GuiCtrlCreatePic. Your posted code is not runnable without a lot of modification, so can you please explain your intent? Are you expecting the user to click on the pic you create to do a screenshot, or did you intend them to click on a button?

Hey MVP thank you for the quick response!

So the script may not run on external PC's because I have the image files saved to our internal network and it pulls from there.

The $Screen variable is intended to create a pic on the gui that when the user clicks it, it takes a screen shot and saves to the desktop.I looked at the help file which I believe means I'd have to turn the Case $msg =$screen into a function instead. Just confused as to where I get the $hBitmap parameter from or how that works to be honest.

Thank you much

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hBmp

    ; Capture full screen
    $hBmp = _ScreenCapture_Capture("")

    ; Save bitmap to file
    _ScreenCapture_SaveImage(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image.jpg", $hBmp)

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

The  $hBmp = _ScreenCapture_Capture("") is the part you are missing?

EDIT

So maybe try:

 Case $msg = $Screen

        $hBmp = _ScreenCapture_Capture("")

        $Screen = _ScreenCapture_SaveImage(@DesktopDir & "new_screenshot.jpg", $hBmp)

Your code, does not have a button for taking a screen shot, rather an image that has a variable $Screen, I changed that, as it does not need a variable, and added a new button called Screen - you can change it to what you want.
