Capture window contents?
BlitzMax Forums/MaxGUI Module/Capture window contents?
| ||
Is there a way to capture the contents of a window -- say, an HTMLView gadget -- into a pixmap? I'd like to capture the contents and put them on a texture. |
| ||
I am pretty interested on this one also... however I have no idea how to do it in blitzmax. PLS |

d:bug released this excellent module that provides additional desktop functions. This should allow you to (on Windows only at the mo, I think) grab the entire desktop into a pixmap, where you can separate out the window you are after. |
| ||
That is not what I am after: I want to grab a HTMLview gadget content into a pixmap (i.e. and use what I grab later on on a canvas). PLS |
| ||
I tried grabbing directly from the htmlview gadget, but i only got black & white? so this grabs from the screen (similar to the module mentioned earlier) but limits the grab to just the gadget. It only does 24 and 32 bits, and is Win32 only. |

Thanks Grable! Anyone knows of a multi-platform way of doing this? Or a Mac specific way that could be used as an alternative for the platform? PLS |
