Taking screenshot programmatically

[sledge]

I do this kind of thing Java with Eclipse builder.

I found some code online to take a screen image , and also a free FTP program.

Sometimes I also use this one. Rather than saving the active chart, it saves the screen (or all of them if you have mutliple).



I remember also having empty screens in the beginning, but don't recall the exact reason any more. I think it was because the SaveChart action was called before the NT had completed the build of the screen. Once I programmed it so that it would do the SaveChart at the moment of a trade or at a given time it worked (and hasn't failed me yet). Do note that I'm using it in Strategies only.

This work for me: StackOverflow

	
try 
{				
	Rectangle bounds = this.ChartControl.Bounds;
			
	using (Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height))
	{
		using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))
		{
			g.CopyFromScreen(new Point(bounds.Left,bounds.Top), Point.Empty, bounds.Size);
		}
		bitmap.Save("f:\\AutoScreenshots\\"+CurrentBar +".jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
	}
}

catch (Exception ex) 
{				
	Print(" -------- Save Screenshot Exception: " + ex);
}

Chart must be maximized on main monitor: this line this.ChartControl.Bounds use local coordinates instead of global. When chart maximized it's fit good.
