Sorry, I forgot that.

Declare a Rectangle class instance and use it as an argument:

public void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(100,100,20,20); Bitmap screenshot; screenshot = Capture.CaptureRectangle(rect); }

Thanks for the quick response, but it still returns errors about its arguments. Looking at the actually CaptureRectangle statement it wants Rectangle rect, string fileName. Maybe i have to declare what the rectangle is elsewhere, i’ll putz around with it some more, thanks.

Include the ScreenCapture.cs file into your project.

Declare this class-level variable:

SC.ScreenCapture Capture = new SC.ScreenCapture();

To capture an image of predefined coordinates and save it in a Bitmap use this code for your button:

public void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Bitmap screenshot; screenshot = Capture.CaptureRectangle(100,100,20,20); }

I’d like to use this program to capture a rectangle. How would I go about getting the button to capture predefined coordinates of the screen??

IE:
public void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CaptureRectangle(100,100,20,20);
}

Make sure the namespace for the ScreenCapture class and the form you are using it on is the same.

It makes sense on paper, but does not import properly into C#. Getting CaptureRectangle type doesn’t exist within the context.

Included ScreenCapture.cs and even tried using CS; in the includes section… Any Ideas?
