vuWindow2BmpEx(LONG,*CSTRING), Signed

Description

Saves any window as a bitmap file, given its window handle.

Parameters

Parameter	Data Type	Description
hWindow	LONG	Handle of the window to save (use functions like vuWindowHandle).
BMPFile	CSTRING(128)	Fully qualified path and filename for the bitmap file to be created.

Note: In vuFileTools V5, CSTRINGs are not limited to the size shown above. The number is for example only.

Returns

A BYTE value:

• True if the window was successfully saved.
• False if the operation failed.

Example

WindowName = 'Microsoft'
BMPName    = 'BillG.bmp'
hWindow    = vuWindowHandle(WindowName)

IF vuWindow2BmpEx(hWindow, BMPName)
  MESSAGE('Saved window "' & WindowName & '" to ' & BMPName)
ELSE
  MESSAGE('Failed to save window to bitmap file')
END

Notes

• Works with any window handle, not just the active window.
• Ensure you provide a valid window handle before calling this function.
• Always specify a fully qualified filename including the .bmp extension.
