RE: Capture Screen Image via Code w/out User Interaction

From the clipboard, it'd be saving the image to a file. Off the top of the
head, mostly likely using Paint along the lines of Set objPaint =
CreateObject("Paint.Application"). Of course, I've never tried automating
paint and have no idea if its possible.

Hi.

You can use a Windows API call to achieve this:

In the form's declaration section (i.e. at the top) enter:

Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, ByVal bScan
As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)

Then, in your error capture coding put:

keybd_event VK_SNAPSHOT, 1, 0, 0

This will copy a 'Print Screen' image to the clipboard. What will you to do
with that? Let me know and I'll try and help.

Cheers.

I'm entertaining the idea of enhancing my error logging by doing a screen
capture at the time that the error handler kicks in.

Anyone have experience with capturing the screen image and then saving it
via code?
