Screen Capture of Dialog box

Post by Ken Veal »

I have tried to take a screen shot of sometimes a dialog box or when a dialog box is within another attempting to capture to two together as an image .Right clicking to start the capture does not do anything, it seems this is because the programme wants the box closed before anything else can happen.Is there anyway round this in PSProX......Ken

I use the common print screen button or specialty screen capture program, like Fast Stone Capture, Snagit, or from the same maker of Snagit, Camtasia Studio.

I find the screen capture utility of PSPP very lame. I think it used to allow you to capture within the program itself, however I've read that this is difficult with the latter versions.

Are you talking about when you open up PSPro twice to capture an image in the first prog or something else that later versions wont allow

I have PSPP X2 and you can only have 1 instance opened at a time.

You need to open a second instance of PSP and initiate the capture from there. (This won't work in X2).
Or you can just press the keyboard's "Print Screen" or "PrtScn" button then paste as a new image.
There can be problems with this in Vista and Windows 7. In that case use the Snipping Tool that is available in each.

They all do it, update a version and leave somethings out and put others in instead of just adding more and improving
