Screen Capture a PrtScn

[kjcdude]

I need to be able to save the print screen that was taken by someone pressing the print screen button.

I need to get the screen without having a script running during the time the print screen was generated. I need to be able to retrieve it after it's captured by windows.

Thanks.

You mean take it from the clipboard ?

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#Include <Clipboard.au3>
Send("{PRINTSCREEN}")
$hBmp = _ClipBoard_GetData($CF_BITMAP)
_ScreenCapture_SaveImage (@ScriptDir & "\ClipBoard_GetData.jpg", $hBmp)

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#Include <Clipboard.au3>
Send("{PRINTSCREEN}")
$hBmp = _ClipBoard_GetData($CF_BITMAP)
_ScreenCapture_SaveImage (@ScriptDir & "\ClipBoard_GetData.jpg", $hBmp)

Presumably you mean

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#Include <Clipboard.au3>
;Send("{PRINTSCREEN}")
$hBmp = _ClipBoard_GetData($CF_BITMAP)
_ScreenCapture_SaveImage (@ScriptDir & "\ClipBoard_GetData.jpg", $hBmp)

Hi, it doesn't work. I copied & pasted and added this line:
 

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#Include <Clipboard.au3> ;
Send("{PRINTSCREEN}")
$hBmp = _ClipBoard_GetData($CF_BITMAP)
if $hBmp = 0 then MsgBox (0, "$hBmp", $hBmp) ; this shows the hBmp is zero
_ScreenCapture_SaveImage (@ScriptDir & "\ClipBoard_GetData.jpg", $hBmp)

And the function _ClipBoard_GetData returns 0 and saves nothing to the file.

Also I tried to add delay after Send command or remove the Send command all together.

The _ClipBoard_Open does _not_ help either.

Considering

$CF_BITMAP = Handle to a bitmap (HBITMAP)

And there's no handle set previous to this, it's suposed to fail, imo.

Or maybe im looking at it wrong.

That being said, im not sure how we can make it work.

This works for me

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#Include <Clipboard.au3> 

Send("{PRINTSCREEN}")
_ClipBoard_Open(0)
$hBmp = _ClipBoard_GetDataEx($CF_BITMAP)
_ClipBoard_Close()

MsgBox (0, "$hBmp", $hBmp) 
_ScreenCapture_SaveImage (@ScriptDir & "\ClipBoard_GetData.jpg", $hBmp)

Not for me, handle is all zeroes
