snapshot of multiple monitors

Hi,

My screen snapshot works great on a single monitor system. However, when multiple monitors are present, the "snapshot" wanders from the mouseloc of the final selected area at the mouseUP, and includes portions of the screen of other monitors.

Is there a way using screenrects to identify the desired monitor screen and "limit" the area of the snapshot exported?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hi Ken,

Unfortunately, you can't do this within Revolution. I consider this a bug.

Perhaps it is possible to do this with a command utility.

Best,

Mark

Mark,

Thanks for the reply.

My system uses a single monitor, but a friend with a different setup was trying to use my program and told me about the strange behavior.

There does not seem to be a "good way" to try to handle this. Perhaps down the road some day.....

Kindest regards,

Down the road, Ken? I've been waiting for a fix for exactly 3 years.

Best,
