shck Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hi, does anyone know how I can save a screen area as graphic-file? Warm Regards Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrypin Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 You need to be more specific about what you're trying to achieve. At first sight your question seems unrelated to Macro Express Pro. To "save a screen area as graphic-file" you typically use screen capture programs. There are scores of these, free and commercial. I mainly use Snagit. Here are 29 million to sift through! http://tinyurl.com/cpkua58 Or you could make the initial capture with the PrtScr key on your keyboard, and then perhaps use a macro to select a specific area or window with Mouse commands, and change the file type as you ask in your other post. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Terry is correct. You will need to use some utility for this. I use Snagit as well. But often you can do things with simple free grapics apps like Irfanview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shck Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi, I know about Screen Capture Tools (I use HyperSnap for a test), but I want to do some actions with MEP, then make with MEP a Screenshot of an active window and upload it to my webspace. Thats not the problem, but MEP uploads it only as BMP (>6MB each file http://pgmacros.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=5109 :-() and BMP-files I cant handle with PHP...

shck Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I have solved the problem! I wrote a .NET console application which converts the file to PNG-format and crop the graphic in under 50ms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'm not sure why you're trying to do all this in MEP if your proficient in .NET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shck Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I only used .Net, because my idea does not work with MEP and I did not want to install any other programs (like HyperSnap/Snagit or ImageMagick). With ImageMagick I got the idea of command line programming tool in .NET and after an hour I had what I wanted with some lines of code in .Net. MEP is easy to use, so I prefer this great tool instead of program some codes in .Net or other languages. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
