Hello CodeCall

Today i'll show you how to make a ScreenShot Program in Visual Basic
2008 Express Edition ..

That will look like This


All You'll need are :
2 Buttons
1 Picture Box.

Button 1 rename with Take a ScreenShoot ..and
Button 2 rename with Save ..
and the Picture Box Size with a big Area ..

The Code for Button 1(Take a ScreenShot ) is

       

        Dim bounds As Rectangle

        Dim screenshot As System.Drawing.Bitmap

        Dim graph As Graphics

        bounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds

        screenshot = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)

        graph = Graphics.FromImage(screenshot)

        graph.CopyFromScreen(bounds.X, bounds.Y, 0, 0, bounds.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy)

        PictureBox1.Image = screenshot

and for the button 2 ( SAVE ) is

        Dim savefiledialog1 As New SaveFileDialog

        Try

            savefiledialog1.Title = "Save File"

            savefiledialog1.FileName = "*.bmp"

            savefiledialog1.Filter = "Bitmap |*.bmp"

            If savefiledialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then

                PictureBox1.Image.Save(savefiledialog1.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)

            End If

        Catch ex As Exception 'Do Nothing

        End Try

a Screenshot that i made with it ..
