[comp.os.os2.misc] How do you do ``screen captures'' in os2 pm?

peter@csg.UWaterloo.CA (Peter Bumbulis) (09/26/90)

I need to take some screen snapshots of an os/2 application;  however, I can't
seem to find any mention of how to do this in the os/2 presentation manager
documentation.  I could probably get by with being able to print the clipboard,
if that is any easier.  Thanks in advance,

Peter

There is a program that can do screen captures in OS/2. Look for PM_CAP
ZIPXXE in the LISTSERV@BLEKUL11.BITNET archives.   Regards, -turgut

I believe the way this is done is to "get" the presentation space (WinGetPS?)
and then from that create a bitmap.  Once you've got that, you could convert
the bitmap to whatever format is useful to you.
