Snapshot an image of a running application

[Bill Fuller]

I am wondering if there is a way to capture an image of a running Windows
Application when the user hits a special key sequence to bring up a
"comments" dialog to be used during testing of a new app. This feature would
be cached into a central database along with the comments so that we will
have a picture of what the tester was seeing when opening up the comments
dialogue.

Products like Cam Studio (http://camstudio.org/) record an AVI of what's on
the desktop.

There may be a product out there with an API that you could hook into. I
don't know of one (because I've never looked for such a beast) but it would
be worth a few minutes of your time on a search engine.

HTH,

Adam.
