Hi there ! I know that GetDIBits is not part of the win32 module, but it seems for me the best matching forum for my question.
I'm currently trying to capture a screenshot on a Windows XP machine. Although there are several other ways (ImageGrab of PIL, third party dlls etc.) I want to try to use the Win32 API to capture it. As input for my brain, I'm using a working c++ script, that calls some win32 apis. Although most of my script seems to work without problems, the final call to GetDIBits (of the venster.gdi module, which is the only module that includes GetDIBits as far as I know) fails (returns 0), without a meeningfull error message. So I'm stuck a little bit. Find attached my small script (as mentioned it uses venster which can be found here: http://venster.sourceforge.net/htdocs/index.html http://venster.sourceforge.net/htdocs/index.html ). Maybe one of you is able to track the error down. Any help is appreciated ! my script: http://old.nabble.com/file/p27675967/screenshot2.py screenshot2.py Greetings from Switzerland, Claude -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/GetDIBits-Troubles-tp27675967p27675967.html Sent from the Python - python-win32 mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
