Press the "PRINT SCREEN" button on your keyboard. It copies all of whats on the screen at the time.

Press F9 or F12 - I can't remember which now it's been so long since I used DarkBASIC Classic.

You will then find a .bmp file in your DarkBASIC root folder, numbered sequentially.

What do you mean only in the window's screen, print screen takes a picture of the whole of the screen, I usually crop it if I want a section of the screen.

I didn't know there was a take picture function in DB, I may use that from now on, although it sounds just the same as print screen.

not if you hold alt.

the mac equivalent is apple shift 3 for the whole screen

or apple shift 4 for a selectable marqueee snapshot.

both have a nice camera snapshot sound in the os so u know it worked.

it automatically saves it as a pict to your hard drive.
and keeps a copy in memory if required.



f9 will fail in a compiled executable so u need to add some code if u want it to work in your game on another users console.

thx the F9 thing worked, the first time i tried it, i thought it didnt work until i found the .bmp in the main Dark Basic folder. I was actually talking about Mircosoft's windows, everytime i used print screen i would get a picture of what was on my desk top and not the program i was running, thanx!
