Grab windows object misfit

<< < (2/3) > >>

Chris Douce:
I cannot select a button or textbox with Snipping tool.
So, I installed Picpick to grab a button.
And the both button are exactly the same size. 123 x 203

Now I tested again on a form and the resulting sizes of the PNG files are different
Screenshot: 1047 x 777 ( one can clearly see the extra border)
picpick: 1027 x 770

See attached files

thx

Chris

mouser:
Ok that's helpful -- I'll see if I can't fix this. I seem to remember windows api providing information about window border size based on the theme -- I think that might be the solution.

I thought of another question.  If you select that window and use the ACTIVE WINDOW CAPTURE mode instead of the red box object mode, what does the capture look like in that case?

Chris Douce:
Thanks for the reply.

Using the active window grab works fine. The size of the capture is OK
Perhaps, this may be part of the solution to determine the size of the object

mouser:
Yes, I was hoping that would be the case.  Should make it fairly easy for me to do a fix for the red box object capture of window forms.
Thanks for your help tracking down the problem -- I should have an update in the next few days.  :up:

mouser:
Can you try this beta:

or portable.
