Doesn't 'PrntScrn' just print a hard copy?

I'm asking about saving an image of a screen electronically (bmp/jpg).

[Warthog]

What do you mean by "hard copy"? It will do it in bitmap (bmp) format. All you have to do is go to some paint program and click "paste".

Is that what you want?

Pressing "Print Screen" will save a copy of the on screen display/image to the clipboard. It can then be pasted into MS Paint or another graphics program.

You can download HyperSnap-DX from...

Pressing "Print Screen" doesn't send the output to the printer.

Print screen takes a shot of your screen and puts it on the clipboard. After you hit the print screen key, open paint, and on the toolbar Edit>Paste.

Hehe,

This is why I'm asking the questions, and your giving the answers! Thanks folks, that's just what I needed to know. Will save me the time in downloading an outside app.

Cheers,

How to include images in a post on a BBS (http://www.romulus2.com/articles/guides/putpic/putpic.htm)

Print Screen will copy the entire screen and Print Screen & ALT will just capture the active window.

darn,,jad1097 beat me to it.

http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif i only learned about the alt-prntscreen just weeks ago,,very handy feature,,

[tepo]

Arent You one happy guys or what... LOL http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Ok: PrintScreen: Takes the WHOLE screen (If two monitors, it takes both) to memory, and after that You can paste it int ANY ( To my knowledge) graphics application You want. Now, if You want just one active window or alert box or so, just use ALT-PrinScreen. Then again, open Your Graphics App, paste and have fun !!

PS: Paint Shop Pro has a "Screen Capture" tool, where You can take what part of the screen You want... Works nice !

Just flashed my bios in my head: If You're in DOS, the PrintScreen really prints a hard copy... But hey, does anyone use Dos and a graphics app...? http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
