screen capture of forms

[Thaddy]

Hi, excuse me, why when people post code don't include the uses clause !

Because most people still use Windows and on Windows it isn't necessary to use lclintf.
For other widgets sets, Lazarus actually mimics (some) Windows behavior through lclintf.
That makes porting your code to other platforms easier. In most cases it is transparent.
For Windows that would mean lclintf is an empty unit. (Which it probably is...)

Hi
for taking a screenshot of a form you can simply use the

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. function TForm.GetFormImage

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Var
2.  bmp : TBitmap;
3.  
4.  bmp := Form1.GetFormImage

To save the image using SaveDialog, which extension should I use?

you can use any extension. I just tried, created image as .png and saved it as bitmap.
