I am developing a web based service tool using asp.net that we will distribute with
our product. This service tool will be used for remotely configuring the product, problem
determination, etc. One thing that I would like to be able to do is display a screen
capture of our product running. I have the code to get the screen capture of the
desktop and I also know how to send the image back to the client to be displayed.
The problem is that the code to grab the desktop image doesn't work when running
in my asp.net code on the server.
From what I have read on the subject, I suspect the problem is that the web server
is running under its own virtual desktop. If so can someone tell me if what I am
trying to do is even possible and if so how. The code I am using is as follows:
(I believe gr1.GetHdc() is where things start to fail).
System.Drawing. Image myImage = new Bitmap(1600, 1200);
Graphics gr1 = Graphics.FromIm age(myImage);
IntPtr dc1 = gr1.GetHdc();
IntPtr dc2 = GetWindowDC(Get DesktopWindow() );
BitBlt(dc1, 0, 0, 1600, 1200, dc2, 0, 0, 13369376);
Response.Buffer Output=true;
Response.Clear( );
Response.Conten tType="image/gif";
myImage.Save(Re sponse.OutputSt ream, System.Drawing. Imaging.ImageFo rmat.Gif);
Response.End();
Thanks,

I think that you can't get a printscreen on server because the server is
logged off.
You can try changing IIS service property. You can try to check Allow
Interact with desktop flag.

I am not sure what you mean by "the server is logged off". In this case,
our product will be running on the server at the time I wish to do the screen
capture, so it will have been logged onto by someone.
I did try checking "Allow Interact with desktop flag" for the WWW Publishing
service but that didn't seem to help ... is there another service I should also
be checking that flag for?

I have a service (look like IIS) that can execute applicacation.
1 of this application is used for make graphics (Pie, etc...). The component
I use for render this must have the desktop because if not graph is blank!
I have set interact with desktop property of my service and there is not
problem!
When Application run I can see this!!!!

news:F9******** *************** ***********@mic rosoft.com... OK, I tried spawning a simple application that simply grabs the desktop and writes the image out to a file. If I run the application
directly, it works as expected, however, when I spawn it from my aspx page on the server I simply get a blank image written out to the file.
I still think the key (as I read in another post in this group) is that
the web server is running as a service in some virtual desktop that is
different from the visible desktop. So how do you get the window handle to the currently visible desktop???

Hi guys,
I have a little problem. I have a class that uses Windows API to capture a
snapshot of the screen. I have this class in a library that I include in my
projects.
When I try to use this class in a windows service, the snapshot comes up as
a black screen. Any idea why? or how do I get around it?
The class works fine if I use it in a regular windows forms application.

Guys,
I am trying to capture the desktop screen (everything).
I am having a problem with the "CreateCompatibleBitmap" API call. For some
reason the function is creating a 1x1 pixels bitmap EVERYTIME. I am
correctly passing the handles to the function (to the best of my knowledge
at least) but it just refuses to create a bitmap in memory with the
dimensions I provide. Here is the code:

Is it possible by use of pyWin32 or ctypes to make a screen capture of
an inactive, or a hidden window if the hwnd/WindowName/ClassName is
known? I've seen dedicated screen capture software do this. While
PIL.ImageGrab.grab() is excellent, it will only capture the foreground
of the desktop. I've tried for hours, but I soon get helplessly lost in
the labyrinths of the Win32API.
