 |
|
I have 2 monitors, and when I send a PrintScrn to #Progman to copy the screen to the clipboard it does both screens. Then when I try to use the BITMAP command the image is all squished because of it being both screens. I want to just capture the current screen, not both. Anyone know how I can do that? API maybe?
Thanks

If your desktop is set up to span the two screens, then you may be out of luck. Although sending an <alt> <prnt scr> will copy an image of only the active window, if that helps...

Hmmm I think you should be able to do this with the BITMAP command. Use the BITMAP PASTE operation and only specify half the width & height returned from the @sysinfo(SCREENRECT) for the width & height. I don't have dual monitors but I would think that should work???
