ZZZiiiinnnngggg!!! That gets a five star salute from me!! Very Nice!! You musta been working on this for a while?

[MrCreatoR]

Thanks gesller!

You musta been working on this for a while?

Well, yes, the last few weeks i think - but the idea is very old, when Paulie posted the Au3Library, if i am not wrong, the functions _ScreenCapture was first introduced there.

[TPaul81]

MsCreator, seriously, this is one of these stuff that really really REALLY made my day.

I think this should be a sticky or something!

[icadea]

this is a good one. thanks

Hi, very nice tool,

Would it be possible to make a screenshot from a whole web page with a scroll???

But only with autoit, no other tool

[MrCreatoR]

Thanks to all for the good feedbacks!

Would it be possible to make a screenshot from a whole web page with a scroll???

A while ago i asked about this here, but the solution will involve external application usage .

@MsCreatoR

Very nice application !!

Regarding

Would it be possible to make a screenshot from a whole web page with a scroll???

I use Fotofiltre + one of the numerous plugins.

Really nice work! My only objection is the GUI looks rather odd with the default windows tabs. The tray looks great.

I would suggest using a hotkey box instead of three checkboxes and a combolist, I have some code that has a great example.

expandcollapse popup

#include<GuiEdit.au3>
#include<SendMessage.au3>
#include<WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

HotKeySet('{CAPSLOCK}', '_ExcludeHotkey') 
HotKeySEt('{NUMLOCK}', '_ExcludeHotkey')

Global Const $HKM_SETHOTKEY = $WM_USER + 1
Global Const $HKM_GETHOTKEY = $WM_USER + 2
Global Const $HKM_SETRULES = $WM_USER + 3

Global Const $HOTKEYF_ALT = 0x04
Global Const $HOTKEYF_CONTROL = 0x02
Global Const $HOTKEYF_EXT = 0x80; Extended key
Global Const $HOTKEYF_SHIFT = 0x01

; invalid key combinations
Global Const $HKCOMB_A = 0x8; ALT
Global Const $HKCOMB_C = 0x4; CTRL
Global Const $HKCOMB_CA = 0x40; CTRL+ALT
Global Const $HKCOMB_NONE = 0x1; Unmodified keys
Global Const $HKCOMB_S = 0x2; SHIFT

$gui_Main = GUICreate('Get Hotkey', 220, 90)

$bt = GUICtrlCreateButton('See Value', 10, 50, 200, 30);

$hWnd = _WinAPI_CreateWindowEx (0, 'msctls_hotkey32', '', BitOR($WS_CHILD, $WS_VISIBLE), 10, 10, 200, 25, $gui_Main)

Really...Really...Really....Great MsCreatoR! I love it! How does this work so immaculate? This looks so professional its...so real!

[ToyleY]

Very good - nice work.

[MrCreatoR]

I would suggest using a hotkey box instead of three checkboxes and a combolist, I have some code that has a great example.

As i mentioned, this box have issues. It's not supporting none ANSI characters, and some special characters can not be used.

[myspacee]

thank you MsCreatoR,

for all good job (and nice www resource).

Is possible to you to isolate only 'selection capture' in a 'new' script ?

(for all newbie as me [want to learn])

Thank you again for source.

M.

[myspacee]

i want to thank again to MsCreatoR.

You open a new way to do my job.

Can you isolate or give us example to have 'selection capture' feature only.

Find a tool that do a lot of thing like your Cropper But have Autoit sorce help us a lot.

Thank you to all

Hi folks,

do you know the problem with blocked AutoIt script downloads? - I know it to well - our company's firewall and/or antivirus solution blocks most of the scripts I wanna download.

There is actually an easy workaround for that ... password protected archive files.

@MsCreator: could you please pw-protect this (and/or all your scripts in the future?) download and post the password on the download site?

I guess I'm not the only one with this problem, and with that workaround we could finally eliminate those annoying false positive warnings or blockings of the antivirus and firewall products.

I personally would highly appreciate it.

thx & greetz

Awesome Job!! You had to work on this quite some time!!

5 STARS!

[monoceres]

Really nice work

Saves a lot of work for me (Cropping, uploading).

Maybe add a MsgBox confirming upload to imageshack?

Would be nice since I don't want to upload all images to imageshack.

Freakin' sweet.

[L0c4lh0sT]

Wow....

Very nice Prog.

But please can you implement an "auto screenshot" function?

And some other pichoster or an option to type in a custom http: adress?

Great Job
