Brief Introduction

Develop a screen-grab tool using C# and the Windows API

Description

Create a screen-capture tool in C#. In this course you will follow the development of a complete project from the ground up. You will end up with a utility that grabs images from screen and saves them to disk in multiple image formats.

In this course you will develop programs that do all the following:

  • Grab an image of the entire screen
  • Grab an image of a selected window
  • Grab an image from a second or third monitor
  • Mark an area of the screen with the mouse and grab that area
  • Add an image of the mouse pointer to grabbed images
  • Calculate screen coordinates and offsets
  • Save images to disk in various image formats
  • Create hotkeys to trigger the screen-capture from any application
  • Use forms and picture boxes to display images
  • Use Windows API functions to add extra features to C#
  • Use file dialogs to save and load images
  • Create transparent and translucent windows
  • Make forms draggable using API functions
  • Override the Windows Procedure to handle events

This is a project-based course that comes with all the source code ready-to-run. It provides a great way for C# programmers to move beyond the basics to explore the development of more complex  C# applications.
