Can anyone help me out with my project. I am doing a project on graphics editor that is creating one with help of C. I want to know how to take snapshot of that editor in C. Cause that snapshot of editor which I have created I have to present in my project report.

Is this just a screen snapshot that is needed?

Not sure what system you have, but on Windows, the 'PrintScreen' key (might be abbreviated 'PrtScr' on some keyboards) will copy the desktop image to the clipboard.

Alt+PrintScreen will copy the the 'active window' to the clipboard (like a MessageBox, for example); however, some applications don't respond to this option well.

So, if the Alt+PrintScreen doesn't work, then just copy the entire desktop, paste it into MSpaint (or some other similar app) and crop the image down to the part that you need.

HTH.

i tried print screen and even tried alt+prnt screen bt nothing worked... this works in linux bt im usein windows xp.. n i have to take snapshot of o/p of a c pgm(and d pgm is a graphics editor) and then use it in word document for the report

Simply bring your project screen to the front, hit Alt-PrintScreen. This will copy it to the clipboard. If you want to create an image file, open MS Paint and paste. Then you can save it as a .jpg or .gif or whatever format you wish.

i tried, pressed print screen fr d graphics editor screen (o/p of my c pgm) n tried pastein in paint bt it dint work nothing got pasted
