What is the easiest way to get a screenshot?


Recommended Posts

In LV 7.1 I have an invoke node for the VI called 'Get Panel Image'.

Here's a code fragment, that gets the frontpanel of a VI. You can save this to a file (PNG, JPG, BMP)

Thanks, Felix and Jens.

Actually, I need to get a full screen image, not only a front panel.

I was thinking of .NET or Activex, but still haven't found the right piece of code.

If you want to do this programmaticly, then take a look at the NI Web Service Server in the code repository. There is a VI in there that uses .NET calls to do this for you. Feel free to use that in your project. Only works with Windows, however...

Thanks, John.

Do you know if I can find this for LV 8.5.1 anywhere?

If you like trouble you can take a picture with your cell phone and email it for few $.

I couldn'd think of that by myself.

Another thing that I could do is take a picture of the screen with my old film camera, develop the film, put it on my scanner and voila!

(just kidding)
