taking screenshots of an application using WSH Script

Question

I want to take the screenshot of an application and paste it in MSWord but the command {PRTSC} is not working. Can anybody help me out please. Here is the script which i have written.

Dim StrInputKey

Set WshShell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

SystemUtil.Run "www.google.co.in"

WshShell.SendKeys "{PRTSC}"

SystemUtil.Run "winword"

WshShell.SendKeys "^v"

Answer 1

According to the MSDN documentation on SendKeys():

You cannot send the PRINT SCREEN key {PRTSC} to an application.

Answer 2

Can u please tell me an alternate way to take screenshots of an application and save in MSWord.

Answer 3

WSH is not the right tool for this job. See AutoIt, and this post on using AutoIt for screen captures.

Answer 4

I usually use the AutoItX ActiveX which can do this pretty easily, but also look at this thread for other ways: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/29185953/send-print-screen-key.aspx
