Screen capturing again

[sbergman]

Hi,

I'd like to take a screen capture from my device screen.
I'm currently doing something like this:
CCoeEnv::Static()->ScreenDevice()->CopyScreenToBitmap(screenBitmap);

The problem with this is, that the resulting bitmap excludes possible pointer and / or cursor.

Any idea howto get cursors and pointers as well to the screen shot?

Well, you can use somethig like this, but I don't know if the pointer will be included. Possibly not:

TSize	screenSize = CEikonEnv::Static()->ScreenDevice()->SizeInPixels();
TDisplayMode displayMode = CEikonEnv::Static()->ScreenDevice()->DisplayMode();
iBitmap = new(ELeave)CFbsBitmap;
User::LeaveIfError(iBitmap->Create(screenSize, displayMode));
CEikonEnv::Static()->ScreenDevice()->CopyScreenToBitmap(iBitmap);

btw, there is an example on Sendo's website (together with source code), but as Sendo X is Series60 device and therefore it doesn't have any pointer, I doubt it deals with the issue...

And one last thing I forgot. There is SCap application http://www.yipton.demon.co.uk/content.html which runs on UIQ, so maybe it will help you, but I don't write for UIQ phones so I have no idea, how it works...

What, I tried to say in my original question was, that this method you succested is not working. I'am already familiar with the SCap application, but it also uses CopyScreenToBitmap method to get the screen data, whis does not give all the data visible on the screen.

Thanks any way for your effort.

Yes we are talking about the screen of the mobile phone.

You can find the API's by downloading the SDK from this site (forum.nokia.com).

Try section titled: "Developer Plarforms".
