Is Screen Capture possible?

[Andrews, A.S.]

Problem solved! 

Georg's suggestion of the Display.Canvas.SaveImage works perfectly! It does take time to save of course so if anyone wanted to do this during a real experiment run, it needs to be allowed for.

Regards

Tony.

Hello Mr. Andrews,

> Is it possible, and if so how, to capture an E-Prime display to file? =
If you want to capture screens from an experiment written with E-Prime
you can write an InlineObject that uses the Display.Canvas.saveImage
method to save the current screen to a given filename.

E.g.:

Display.Canvas.SaveImage "firsttrial.bmp"


If you want to capture an image of the E-Studio development
environment you can either use the screen capture programs you've
mentioned or press "Alt" + "Print Screen" on your keyboard, open a
painting program (Microsoft Paint will suffice) and select "Paste
Image" from the "Edit" menu.

Best regards,
