Capturing Screens Using the Clipboard
You can take two different kinds of screen shots:
A picture of the whole screen by pressing PRINT SCREEN
A picture of the active window by pressing ALT-PRINT SCREEN

Hello TA.
I've tried that but nothing happens.
Where's the clipboard?
Cheers,
S

Steffo, you then paste the contents of the clipboard into your word processing program or
alternatively into paint.
Open Word after doing the capture and press CTRL+V or Open Paint and do the same.
Or use one of the 3rd party programs.

Thanks.
Now I can take a shot of the whole screen, but I'd like to take a shot of
only a part of it.
How do I do that?
TIA!

Paste it into Notepad and edit it.

Hi Frank.
It's not working in Notepad (no option to paste) but it's working in
Wordpad.
Thank you.

Hi Frank.
It's not working in Notepad (no option to paste) but it's working in
Wordpad.

You'll have a hard time editing it in Wordpad. Paint works better.

I recommend that you use an extra program called "Hardcopy", because the
standard capture screen function which comes with Windows XP is not the best.

Greetings,
Daniel

Go back a couple posts...where TaurArian said that Alt-Prnt Screen grabs
just the active window.

Frank,

What are you talking about? Notepad - WRONG. You need Rich Text Format

 

[Newbie Coder]

TaurArian,

Capturing the focused window:

Actually ALT + PRINTSCREEN is for Windows 2000
CTRL + PRINTSCREEN is for XP

 

[Newbie Coder]

TorPedo,

Write your own Screen Capture application in around 9 lines of code

 

[Steve Shattuck]

Paste it into Notepad and edit it.

Another MVP that isn't. You can't paste a printscreen clipboard to notepad,
you paste it to PAINT or a graphics program.

DUH!

TaurArian,

Capturing the focused window:

Actually ALT + PRINTSCREEN is for Windows 2000
CTRL + PRINTSCREEN is for XP

Not in my XP pro it doesn't.

Printscreen = Desktop
Alt+Printscreen= Window with focus.

If you try "CTRL+Printscreen" you still get desktop.

 

[Wesley Vogel]

In Windows XP it is ALT+PRINT SCREEN.

To copy the window or screen contents
* To make a copy of the active window, press ALT+PRINT SCREEN.
* To copy the entire screen as it appears on your monitor, press PRINT
SCREEN.

Note
To paste the image into a document, click the Edit menu in the document
window, and then click Paste.

To copy the window or screen contents
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/.../en-us/common_trans_wind_screen.mspx?mfr=true

This is the same article that is in Windows XP Help and Support.

Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK..

I meant Paint. Sorry.

Frank,

[Nevermind]

Paste it into Notepad and edit it.

Notepad is not an image editor. It is a text editor.
I like Irfanview. You can paste screenshots into it, and select the
area to save, then clip.
