Program to take a screenshot and save it in a file

Hi Experts,
I have been asked to write a program that should be executed via an option on the sap-gui menu and that should take a screen shot of the current screen (whatever that is at the time of execution) and save it to a local folder with a default name.
Any idea of how I could do this?  How do I take a screen shot of the current screen? 
Many thanks,
Brodo

Hi Gustavo,
Could you be more specific?  Which utility should I use?  I am not aware of any...
Many thanks,
Brodo

  • Take screenshot and saves the image to a PNG file

    Hello,
    How can I take screenshot and save the image to a PNG file?
    thanks,
    Avivit.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    this is a quite reproducible problem. Some more clarification on my part might help:
    I have a loop that contains, among other this, (1) a sub-VI that prints-screen and saves as a png and (2) a sub-VI that emails me the png file as an attachment. The 1st sub-VI simply uses the user32.dll to simulate a print-screen key stroke, calls clipbpard get image, and then formats and saves the image to a png file using the built-in VI write-to-png. This loop should update this same png file, because the path does not change. However, I've noticed that while the loop is running the png file does not update. It simply keeps sending the 1st image it took. The image updates if the VI stops and is run again. I assumed the problem was either with the clipboard not updating or the file not writing.
    I think the png file remains open while the main VI (i.e. this loop) runs because I cannot delete the file while the VI is running, only once it stops or is quit. Windows gives me an error that the file is currently in use by labview. Therefore, I think the file is not updated because it remains open.
    I've attached the print screen VI. Feel free to stick it in a loop and give it a try if you don't spot something obviously wrong. I did not include the main-VI that I actually use since it contains a lot of instrument I/O, which would prevent someone testing the VI.

  • Ipad takes photo every time I close the cover of its case. When I close the cover - it really does take a picture and saves a photo. Luckly, it make a click, and pictures are seen in the photo album, and it does not appear to be forwarding.

    When I close the cover - it really does take a picture and saves a photo. Luckly, it make a click, and pictures are seen in the photo album, and it does not appear to be forwarding. It is just gobbling memory and annoying as I can only delete these pictures one at a time.

    It seems to take a picture of the counter top = I do not see the keyboard.
    I am wondering ....It may be a kids game app that takes pictures of the screen or out the back camera. I am starting to think it may just be a sound effect when placing the iPad on its screen. So many things that may be unrelated but coincedental. It started in May (the sound) and so did the multiple pictures - starting to think they are not related.
    Thanks for the quick tip on deleting multiple pictures.

  • Hi, I'm an eBay seller and save old eBay auction files to my hard drive for future refence. Firefox no longer opens these files correctly (see below).

    Hi, I'm an eBay seller and save old eBay auction files to my hard drive for future refence. These files which all use the same name but are saved in a different folder for each eBay auction no longer open correctly -- much of the eBay auction text information shows up for a split second and then disappears -- the area at the top of the saved eBay auction file then collapses -- the original eBay auction photo of the product shows up as well during that split second but disappears when the other auction text disappears. These eBay auction files open correctly when opened using Internet Explorer. In Firefox, Firefox adds some strange information at the end of the file name when it is opened which is not a part of the actual file name itself (i.e. here is the original file name which is the same for whatever ended eBay auction I open: eBayISAPI.dll.htm -- here is the altered file name after Firefox opens it: eBayISAPI.dll_files/eBayISAPI_data/eBayISAPI_002.htm#ht_658wt_1349 -- yes, it is that long -- the last part is slightly different for each separate auction file that I open). None of this happened until recently. The files open this way whether using Firefox 4.0, Firefox 3.6.16, Firefox Safe Mode 3.6.16, and Firefox Safe Mode 4.0.

    Here is what I did:
    1) In Firefox 4.0, I opened the Bookmarks on the Menu Bar at the top of the screen. I clicked on the Import and Backup menu. I then exported all my bookmarks to the PC's desktop using the default file name BOOKMARKS.HTML.
    2) In Firefox, I opened the Add-ons menu under Tools on the Menu Bar. I clicked on the Prnt Scrn key on the top right of the PC's keyboard in order to obtain a screen shot of all the Firefox add-ons. I then opened Microsoft Word and pasted the screen shot using the Control V command (Ctrl V). I then saved the Microsoft Word file on the PC's desktop for future reference.
    3) I then opened the Control Panel in the Start menu (accessed from the little Windows world globe on the bottom left of the screen -- the operating system is Windows 7).
    4) In the Control Panel, I opened Uninstall A Program in the Programs section.
    5) I uninstalled Firefox 4.0 clicking on the box "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" in order to remove whatever bug in my Firefox customizations was causing the two errors above (this is the MOST IMPORTANT PART of this whole process which is why I saved all my bookmarks as an HTML file and saved a screen shot of all the Firefox add-ons).
    6) I then reinstalled my old Firefox 3.6.16 version obtained from the following link: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html (I am not yet in favor of using Firefox 4.0 -- you suppose you can reinstall Firefox 4.0 on your system if you want).
    7) After Firefox 3.6.16 was reinstalled, I had to import all my old bookmarks. Under Bookmarks on the Firefox Menu Bar at the top of the screen, I clicked on Organize Bookmarks. I then clicked on the Import and Backup menu and then the Import HTML command in order the BOOKMARKS.HTML file saved on the PC's desktop.
    8) I then re-added all my favorite Firefox add-ons by clicking on Add-ons under the Firefox Tools menu and then clicking on the Get Add-ons command. I then searched for all the old add-ons I wanted to re-add to Firefox using the Microsoft Word document on the PC's desktop saved with the screen shot of all the old Firefox add-ons on my system by I uninstalled Firefox 4.0.
    9) I then opened one of the old eBay auction page files saved on my hard drive under the eBay default file name "eBayISAPI.dll.htm". The file opened perfectly with NO missing sections and no missing original eBay auction listing photo! the file looked exactly like it did as if I was logged into eBay and looking at the original ended auction.
    10) I then opened Hotmail in Firefox and received NO "update your browser" message! I was able to open all my old emails and write and send new emails (with all my Contacts being automatically detected when I went to type in the email address of the person I was sending the new email to)!
    In summary, you need to uninstall Firefox 4.0 being sure to click on the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" box during the uninstall process. Be sure to save/export all your old bookmarks before the uninstall process and make a note of all your old add-ons. Then reinstall whatever version of Firefox you are comfortable with. Apparently, my Firefox customizations had become corrupted at some point; removing the Firefox customizations during the uninstall process allowed any future Firefox version installed on my PC to start over with a clean slate (these corrupted settings would show up in whatever version of Firefox I had installed on my PC so removing them during the uninstall process was the key to solving all my Firefox bugs). I hope my suggestions help to solve your problem and good luck!

  • Png blurry/pixelated after i used the vanishing point filter and save as a VSP file?

    Hi,
    Why are my png blurry/pixelated  after i used the vanishing point filter and save as a VSP file? And i'm using a high res picture. I'm using PS CC.
    I got some screenshots.
    This the result of the png
    Thanx in advance

    As I posted before, I would use it more if it had some of the functionality I need. I need to be able to change the opacity of the image I'm pasting so I can see EXACTLY where my overlaid image will register with the bottom image. VP seems to require a ton of processing and I wonder if maybe the software is handing off some of this work to the graphics card for calculating. Maybe this would explain that apparently not many people have run into an error that gets embedded in the file. Although my G5 is Apple stock, not super-modified.

  • Catch the image of JTree and save it as a file

    There is an JTree and it has a few nodes.
    And there, I want to capture both the image of JTree and
    the images of it's child nodes as they show in screen.
    if possible, I want to capture image of all expanded nodes in tree and
    save them as jpg file.
    I try to capture the Image of JTree from JTree.createImage() method.
    and I also tried to capture the images of child nodes
    from JTree.getComponents() and capture images all of child nodes as they were.
    I,however,get to know the method
    Component.createImage() doesn't return the image that shows in screen as it was.
    could anybody tell me the answer?

    Hi,
    don't know if I got you right, but what you want is a "screenshot" of the JTree, right ?
    Try to paint the JTree in a BufferedImage and encode this as JPEG or whatever.
    BufferedImage theImage = new BufferedImage(
          owner.getWidth(), owner.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
          Graphics g = theImage.createGraphics();
          g.setClip( 0, 0, owner.getWidth(), owner.getHeight());
          owner.paint( g);owner is your JTree or any other component you want.
    Hope that helped.

  • Open all pages in a PDF and save them as sequential files

    I'm trying to make a script that will open all pages in a multi-page PDF and save them as sequential files, but I have had no luck with the simple script in the "Adobe Ilustrator CS5 Reference: JavaScript".
    there example to open a PDF to a designated page does not work for me in Illustrator CS 5.
    // Opens a PDF file with specified options
    var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
    pdfOptions.pDFCropToBox = PDFBoxType.PDFBOUNDINGBOX;
    pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 2;
    // Open a file using these preferences
    var fileRef = filePath;
    if (fileRef != null) {
    var docRef = open(fileRef, DocumentColorSpace.RGB);
    if anyone can get me on the right path it would be appreciated.

    Hi DuanesSFK,
    you can open a PDF page on this way (tested with CS3 and 5):
    //OpenPDFpage2.jsx
    var uILevel = userInteractionLevel; 
    app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
    // Opens a PDF file with specified options
    var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
    pdfOptions.pDFCropToBox = PDFBoxType.PDFBOUNDINGBOX;
    pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 2;
    // Open a file using these preferences
    //var fileRef = filePath;
    var fileRef = File("~/Desktop/YourOwn.pdf");
    if (fileRef != null) {
    var docRef = open(fileRef, DocumentColorSpace.RGB);
    app.userInteractionLevel = uILevel;
    To open all pages you have to loop through all pages etc.
    Easier for you:
    Search here in forum for the "open pdf" script  (I don't know the exactly name, it was written by CarlosCanto, ) This should always work for you.
    Have fun

  • Take multiple screenshots and paste straight into paintbrush/word for editing?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a newbie to mac. Barely got it for several weeks.
    I have a task to do which requires me to take screenshots for a multiple times and paste them straight into a same file in paintbrush for editing.
    Basically what I do is I am to screen capture a small portion of the screen, paste it into paintbrush, and keep taking screenshots and paste them into the same clipboard in paintbrush. So the desired outcome is I will have like a collections of screenshots combined into just 1 image file.
    Or also I'm thinking of another way to do it is to paste them into a Word file and edit them directly in Word by using drawing tools in word.
    Because if I Command+Shift+V4 it will come up a file on desktop. First, I have to go to desktop open up the file. Second, select the part i want. Third, copy it and paste into word/paint brush. If i need to take about 40 screenshots imagine i have to do about 120 steps in total :O ?!?!?
    I know that I used to do this in window. Just printscreen and Cltr+V (paste) straight into Paint and I can do this multiple times and the clipboard in paint will automatically be expanded as I paste a new screenshot onto it. I find its so much easier and quicker. Or I can do the same thing in Word as well.
    Could anyone help me with one quick and easy way to do this with MAC?
    I am sooo looking forward for your help!
    Thank you guys. hope i can get a solution soon.
    PS: I'm using Word 2011, Paintbrush & Seashore apps

    Control+Shift+Command+4 -- capture a screen shot and toss it in the clipboard.
    Also, look at keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences, and /Applications/Utilities/Grab.
    Here are some other OS X keyboard shortcuts.

  • I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

    I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
    I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

    On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
    But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

  • A script that captures the coordinates of the mouse clicks and saves them into a file

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create a cartoon taking a movie (I've chosen blade runner) as base. I've got the real movie and I've exported all the pictures using VirtualDUB. Now I have a lot of images to modify. I would like to modify the actors faces with the faces generated by Facegen modeller. I'm thinking how to make the whole process automatic because I have a lot of images to manage. I've chosen to use Automate BPA,because it seems the best for this matter. I'm a newbie,so this is my first attempt using Adobe Photoshop and Automate BPA. I wrote a little script. It takes a face generated with Facegen modeller and tries to put it above the original actors faces. But it doesn't work very good and I'm not really satisfied,because the process is not fully automated. To save some time I need to write a script that captures the coordinates of the mouse when I click over the faces and that saves them into a file,so that Automate BPA can read these coordinates from that file and can put the face generated with Facegen Modeller above the original face. I think that Automate BPA is not good for this matter. I think that two coordinates are enough,X and Y. They can be the coordinates of the nose,because it is always in the middle of every face. It is relevant to knows how big should be the layer of the new face,too. This is the Automate BPA code that I wrote :
    <AMVARIABLE NAME="nome_foto" TYPE="TEXT"></AMVARIABLE>
    <AMVARIABLE NAME="estensione_foto" TYPE="TEXT"></AMVARIABLE>

    and this is a short video to explain better what I want to do :
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/26687972@N03/5331705934/
    In the last scene of the video you will see the script asking to input the X and the Y coordinates of the nose. This request is time consuming. For this reason I want to write a script that captures automatically the coordinates of the mouse clicks. The only thing to do should be click over the nose and the script should make the rest. As "c.pfaffenbichler" suggested here : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/775219, I could explore 3 ways :
    1) use the Color Sampler Tool’s input with a conventional Photoshop Script.
    2) use After Effects would provide a better solution.
    3) Photoshop’s Animation Panel might also offer some easier way as it might be possible to load two movies (or one movie and one image) and animate the one with the rendered head in relation to the other.
    Since I'm a totally newbie in graphic and animation,could you help me to explore these ways ? Thanks for your cooperation.

    These are the coordinates of the contours of the face that you see on the picture. Can you explain to me how they are calculated ? The coordinates of the first colums are intuitive,but I'm not able to understand how are calculated the coordinates of the second one.
    Thanks.
    1 COL     2 COL (how are calculated these values ?)

  • Looking for a program that can handel import and export of palm doc files

    I am looking for a program that can handel the import and export of palm doc Files that can convert them to to either txt or RTF files for Vista 32, running Palm Desktop 7.1.
    Could anyone give me a few suggestions of any plug-ins that would be good me?
    Hearns
    Post relates to: Palm IIIxe
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Ok, you need to clean uninstall Palm desktop 6.2. Install Palm desktop 4.1.4 and download and install documents to go version 6.
    Here are the clean uninstall instructioins for Vista.
    You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
    happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
    Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
    copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
    If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
    Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
    with Palm Desktop from your computer.
    Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
    C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
    PalmOne
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
    *Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
    into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
    hide hidden files.
    Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
    Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
    from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
    you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
    PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
    Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
    Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
    Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
    The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
    BUT do not turn off your computer.
    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
    but if they are delete them)
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
    Next reboot your computer.
    Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. Use the username that is on the handheld.

    Thank you both of you for the ideas - just tried it yes I filled in part of the form in Preview then saved it as post script - then the program tries to convert it back to PDF and displays it in Preview - but the second time Preview did not let me continue to fill in the form. Since the forms need to be filled in partially first and then later either readjusted or additional info provided - this system will not work without too much hassle.
    I am waiting now for Adobe to get back to me to see if they will allow me to purchase the upgrade package - although my previous version was for Windows.
