Is there a way to call the menuitem "Snapshot" from a script?

Can I use it in a standalone app?


Thanks, Max

Which menu item, Max?! Which operating system, perhaps? Do you mean VBScript or AppleScript maybe?

But... to make a snapshot, you'd probably want to use Revolution's built-in snapshot feature. Just search for snapshot in the dictionary.

Under "file" is "Import as Control" with the submenu "Snapshot"

It does exactly what I need. The script language has "Export Snapshot", but that is the opposite of what I need, which is to take a snapshot and import it automatically.

Max,

Export snapshot might do what you want. It is quite a useful and flexible command. However, there is also import snapshot, which I personally rarely use, but does a good job as well. Make sure to read the docs on this.

Thanks, Mark.

Import Snapshot did the job
