How would I programmatically simulate a "Print Scr" event?



Ideally, in my app, I would have a menu option that when selected would launch the email client, create a new email and fill the body with the image or an attachment. 



I know how to launch the email and start a new one programmatically but inserting an image?



Any one done this?  It would be a great support/help desk tool.

<QUOTE>Use program like Hypersnap:



OutPutDate=Oconv(DATE(),'DJ4-')

OutPutTime=Oconv(TIME(),'MTS')1,2: '.': Oconv(TIME(),'MTS')4,2: '.': Oconv(TIME(),'MTS')7,2

Savefile=OutPutDate: '_': OutPutTime:'.bmp'

hwnd=Get_Property(@Window, "HANDLE")

showCmd=1

CMD=C:\Program Files\HyperSnap 6\HprSnap6.exe'

CMD2= ' -snap:awin -save:bmp ': Savefile

rv=ShellExecute(hwnd, "open":\00\, CMD:\00\, CMD2:\00\, "":\00\, showCmd)

If rv  42 Then

   msg('Error ': rv)

End

<QUOTE>Kauko,



Excellent response, thank you.



I was hoping that there may be someway to simulate with a hidden menu item. In the form menu builder you can assign accelerator keys.  There is no "Print Scr" but I was wondering if you could trigger that like the accelerator keys and then have another one that simulated a Ctrl-V into a Word doc and then create an email with that attachment or ideally right into the message body.
