_ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd() in v3.3.14.3 is not creating the capture file

The _ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd() logic may have an issue in v3.3.14.3.  I was testing scripts using v3.3.14.3 and saw that the scripts' screen captures weren't getting created.  I immediately ran the scripts using v3.3.14.2 and the screen captures were being created as expected. The _ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd() function, in v3.3.14.3, returns @error = -2. 

Can anyone else confirm that they are seeing the same issue?

Below is a slightly modified version of the function's help file's _ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd() example that should allow you to recreate the issue.

  

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hGUI

    ; Create GUI
    $hGUI = GUICreate("Screen Capture", 400, 300)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    Sleep(250)

    ; Capture window
    _ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd(@TempDir & "\GDIPlus_Image.jpg", $hGUI)
    If @error Then
        MsgBox($MB_ICONERROR, "", _
            "_ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd() failed." & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
            "@error = " & @error _
        )
        Exit 1
    EndIf

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

Corrected the @error code from 2 to -2

TheXman,

I have found the cause of the error - deep in the GDIPlus library - and I know how to fix it. But before I do, I need to talk to the GDI gurus to see if changing this single line will impact anything else in the library.

The XMan,

The culprit actually appears to be the the _WinAPI_WideCharToMultiByte function, so the problem might be wider than just the GDIPlus library and many thanks for the bug report which has highlighted this problem. We are now investigating why this function no longer returns what other dependent functions are obviously expecting.

@Melba23,

Has there been any progress in resolving the root cause of this issue?  Will the notification of a fix be posted back here, to the sticky post related to 3.3.14.3 fixes, or somewhere else?

I've been holding off on doing any further testing of 3.3.14.3 since what you believe to be the issue is such a low-level issue and may have wider ramifications.

Thanks,
TheXman

TheXman,

We have some working code and I will post the amended WinAPIConv library soon in the "3.3.14.3. Fixes" thread.

Current version 

Func _WinAPI_WideCharToMultiByte($vUnicode, $iCodePage = 0, $bRetString = True)

    ; some code
    
    Local $tMultiByte = DllStructCreate("byte[" & $aResult[0] & "]")

    ; some code

EndFunc   ;==>_WinAPI_WideCharToMultiByte

Must be changed to 

Func _WinAPI_WideCharToMultiByte($vUnicode, $iCodePage = 0, $bRetString = True)

    ; some code
    
    Local $tMultiByte = DllStructCreate("char[" & $aResult[0] & "]")

    ; some code

EndFunc   ;==>_WinAPI_WideCharToMultiByte

because it returns Binary, not String as documented.

Also GDIPlus.au3 contains some unecessary string conversions in _GDIPlus_GetEncoders and _GDIPlus_GetDecoders. To correct it:

1. Remove #include "WinAPIConv.au3" from top of GDIPlus.au3. This is no longer needed.

2. Replace _GDIPlus_GetEncoders with the following: 

Func _GDIPlus_Encoders()
    Local $iCount = _GDIPlus_EncodersGetCount()
    Local $iSize = _GDIPlus_EncodersGetSize()
    Local $tBuffer = DllStructCreate("byte[" & $iSize & "]")
    Local $aResult = DllCall($__g_hGDIPDll, "int", "GdipGetImageEncoders", "uint", $iCount, "uint", $iSize, "struct*", $tBuffer)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0)
    If $aResult[0] Then Return SetError(10, $aResult[0], 0)

    Local $pBuffer = DllStructGetPtr($tBuffer)
    Local $tCodec, $aInfo[$iCount + 1][14]
    $aInfo[0][0] = $iCount
    For $iI = 1 To $iCount
        $tCodec = DllStructCreate($tagGDIPIMAGECODECINFO, $pBuffer)
        $aInfo[$iI][1] = _WinAPI_StringFromGUID(DllStructGetPtr($tCodec, "CLSID"))
        $aInfo[$iI][2] = _WinAPI_StringFromGUID(DllStructGetPtr($tCodec, "FormatID"))
        $aInfo[$iI][3] = DllStructGetData( DllStructCreate( "wchar[128]", DllStructGetData($tCodec, "CodecName")), 1 )
        $aInfo[$iI][4] = DllStructGetData( DllStructCreate( "wchar[128]", DllStructGetData($tCodec, "DllName")), 1 )
        $aInfo[$iI][5] = DllStructGetData( DllStructCreate( "wchar[128]", DllStructGetData($tCodec, "FormatDesc")), 1 )
        $aInfo[$iI][6] = DllStructGetData( DllStructCreate( "wchar[128]", DllStructGetData($tCodec, "FileExt")), 1 )
        $aInfo[$iI][7] = DllStructGetData( DllStructCreate( "wchar[128]", DllStructGetData($tCodec, "MimeType")), 1 )
        $aInfo[$iI][8] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "Flags")
        $aInfo[$iI][9] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "Version")
        $aInfo[$iI][10] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "SigCount")
        $aInfo[$iI][11] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "SigSize")
        $aInfo[$iI][12] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "SigPattern")
        $aInfo[$iI][13] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "SigMask")
        $pBuffer += DllStructGetSize($tCodec)
    Next
    Return $aInfo
EndFunc   ;==>_GDIPlus_Encoders

3. Replace _GDIPlus_GetDecoders: 

Func _GDIPlus_Decoders()
    Local $iCount = _GDIPlus_DecodersGetCount()
    Local $iSize = _GDIPlus_DecodersGetSize()
    Local $tBuffer = DllStructCreate("byte[" & $iSize & "]")
    Local $aResult = DllCall($__g_hGDIPDll, "int", "GdipGetImageDecoders", "uint", $iCount, "uint", $iSize, "struct*", $tBuffer)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0)
    If $aResult[0] Then Return SetError(10, $aResult[0], 0)

    Local $pBuffer = DllStructGetPtr($tBuffer)
    Local $tCodec, $aInfo[$iCount + 1][14]
    $aInfo[0][0] = $iCount
    For $iI = 1 To $iCount
        $tCodec = DllStructCreate($tagGDIPIMAGECODECINFO, $pBuffer)
        $aInfo[$iI][1] = _WinAPI_StringFromGUID(DllStructGetPtr($tCodec, "CLSID"))
        $aInfo[$iI][2] = _WinAPI_StringFromGUID(DllStructGetPtr($tCodec, "FormatID"))
        $aInfo[$iI][3] = DllStructGetData( DllStructCreate( "wchar[128]", DllStructGetData($tCodec, "CodecName")), 1 )
        $aInfo[$iI][4] = DllStructGetData( DllStructCreate( "wchar[128]", DllStructGetData($tCodec, "DllName")), 1 )
        $aInfo[$iI][5] = DllStructGetData( DllStructCreate( "wchar[128]", DllStructGetData($tCodec, "FormatDesc")), 1 )
        $aInfo[$iI][6] = DllStructGetData( DllStructCreate( "wchar[128]", DllStructGetData($tCodec, "FileExt")), 1 )
        $aInfo[$iI][7] = DllStructGetData( DllStructCreate( "wchar[128]", DllStructGetData($tCodec, "MimeType")), 1 )
        $aInfo[$iI][8] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "Flags")
        $aInfo[$iI][9] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "Version")
        $aInfo[$iI][10] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "SigCount")
        $aInfo[$iI][11] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "SigSize")
        $aInfo[$iI][12] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "SigPattern")
        $aInfo[$iI][13] = DllStructGetData($tCodec, "SigMask")
        $pBuffer += DllStructGetSize($tCodec)
    Next
    Return $aInfo
EndFunc   ;==>_GDIPlus_Decoders

Full file attached.

Imp,

The place to bring that up is as a "Feature Request" in Trac - open a ticket if you feel it is worth doing and the Devs will consider it.
