"Capture an object" behaviour
« on: October 09, 2005, 03:11 PM »
I want to capture an pull-down menu
but instead that
SC (2.01.01) captured the area behind the menu.

that could be the new code designed to capture transparent windows and tooltips..
did it work in older versions?

The first pic is captured with the "capture current screen" mode for demonstration


All the other pics are tests to capture the pull-down object,
marked in the first pic with the red circle,
with the "capture windows object" mode.

But SC captured no the menu but the object behind the menu,
dependig where the cursor was.
(shots may from diff tests)


> did it work in older versions?
 i will try.

Another behaviour:

the captures from "capture an object"
are sorted as second last thumpnail,
and not as last thumpnail.

The capture with "current screen"
are sorted as last thumpnail.

Pls see pic and shooting times:

Screenshot Captor
v1.02.06

the same.

I want to capture the pull-down menu only:

SC captures the object behind the pull-down menu
AND the corresponting part of the pull-down menu
in front of the back object.

"Capture an selected region" works

but the shot is sorted as second last thumpnail, too.

ok thanks stefan.
looks like capturing menus is problematic (and always was) and something to put on todo list.
i'll look into why the shell browser component isnt sorting properly.
