How can i take snapshot of command prompt window in full screen mode.

Question

Hi all,

I need to take snapshot if command prompt window running in full screen mode.

I had tried it using PrintScreen,Ctrl+PrintScreen, Ctrl+Alt+PrintScreen button(s) but nothing seems to work

Also are there any reasons that the print screen button does not work in full screen commandprompt mode? After all, it does for all windows under normal conditions.

Answer 1

did you try alt + print screen?

Answer 2

n-p-r, but here's the trick: Load the program in a virtual instance of Windows, go fullscreen, and let the host operating system take the screenshot. Extravagantly if your Windows instance is not already virtualized, but it works.

Answer 3

Click any window except the command window and then hit PrtScrn.

Answer 4

Why don't you just use an external screen shot software?

There's many, e.g. greenshot, which is free (is in speech and beer :-)).

In full screen mode all you have is text. There is no graphical `rendering' as such. If you can capture the text, it is enough ... though you can always reconstruct a png image later from the text (if you really have to get an image out of it).
