Screen capture and save as date & time

thebrighter · #1 21-Jul-2007, 23:44

I need to take screen print (actually part of screen area of a Network Management System computer) and save it in a Folder by date. Saving by date is now ok. But I cant copy the screen print out put to the clipboard.

I have written the code. But it is not working. Pls somebody correct this.

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    HBITMAP Output[MAX_PATH];
    FILE *fp = fopen("c:\\image.bmp", "a+");
    
    keybd_event(VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, 0, 0);
    keybd_event(VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
    
    OpenClipboard(NULL);
    Output = (HBITMAP)GetClipboardData(CF_BITMAP);
    EmptyClipboard();
    CloseClipboard();
    
    fwrite(Output, sizeof(Output[0]), sizeof(Output), fp);
    fclose(fp);
    
return 0;
}

I don't know much about this api stuff but I get this on compiling with the line:

gcc -Wall -W -pedantic screencap_10.c -o screencap_10.exe
screencap_10.c: In function `main':
screencap_10.c:24: error: incompatible types in assignment

...here is line 24:
Output = (HBITMAP)GetClipboardData(CF_BITMAP);

So I guess it's back to msdn eh! , Howard;
