OK, I know how DrawToBitmap works or the CopyToScreen methods and all. What I'm looking for is how to take a picture from inside a form (without the form borders, title and maximize box and all) I tried different things for the Rectangle parameter of the DrawToBitmap method but none worked and I just can't figure it out. I appreciate any help.
Well, you have two choices:
1) Go into complex Windows API's
2) Take a screenshot and simply cropping out the form.
1 is probably faster and will work even if something is hiding the form (e.g an other form)
2 will only work if there's nothing hiding the form, and its in the screen.
Well, you can use this code if you like:
Rectangle form = this.Bounds;
using (Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(form.Width, form.Height))
{
using (Graphics graphic =
Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))
{
graphic.CopyFromScreen(form.Location,
Point.Empty, form.Size);
}
bitmap.Save("D://test.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}
