Copy window to bmp file

[Jeff Barnes]

Hi,

Is there any way to copy a window (or part of a window) to a bmp file?


Thanks,

Jeff

For the entire window you can use TWindow:SaveToBmp() method.

Thanks for the fast reply Enrico but it does not seem to work.

I get a run time error: Message not found: TWINDOW:SAVETOBMP

This is the method:

Code: Select all  Expand view

SaveToBmp( cBmpFile ) CLASS TWindow

   local hBmp := WndBitmap( ::hWnd )
   local hDib := DibFromBitmap( hBmp )

   DibWrite( cBmpFile, hDib )
   GloBalFree( hDib )
   DeleteObject( hBmp )

return ( File( cBmpFile ) )

Mr.EMG

Similar to the above, is there any method to save a dialog to BMP ?

Note : Tried to save a dialog using your above solution. But could not save it.

This is a working sample:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL oDlg

    DEFINE DIALOG oDlg

    @ 0,  1 BUTTON "Save BMP" ACTION oDlg:SaveToBmp( "SAVED.BMP" )

    ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg;
             CENTER

    RETURN NIL

Mr.Enrico

Thank you very much for your quick answer.

I tried the funciton SaveToBmp("SavedBmp") in association with INIT clause. It did not work. But it is working coolly with ON PAINT clause to save a Dialog to BMP.

Thank you very much for your attendtion.

Try with oDlg:bStart codeblock instead of ON INIT clause. During ON INIT (initialization) the dialog is not painted yet.

Mr.Enrico,

Good alternative suggestion.

Hi all

oDlg:SaveToBmp( "SAVED.BMP" ) was working earlier. Now it is not
working !.

Has any body succeeded with oDlg:SaveToBmp( "SAVED.BMP" ) ?

I am using FWH 2.8 (September 2006) Version + xHarbour 0.99.71 (Simplex)

Thanks
