SYNOPSIS

require 'win32/screenshot'

# take a screenshot of the foreground window
Win32::Screenshot.foreground do |width, height, bmp|
  File.open("picture1.bmp", "wb") {|file| file.puts bmp}
end

# take a screenshot of the area of the foreground where upper left x and y
# coordinates are 0 and 10, width is 100 and height is 200
Win32::Screenshot.foreground_area(0, 10, 100, 200) do |width, height, bmp|
  File.open("picture2.bmp", "wb") {|file| file.puts bmp}
end

# take a screenshot of the screen
Win32::Screenshot.desktop do |width, height, bmp|
  File.open("picture3.bmp", "wb") {|file| file.puts bmp}
end

# take a screenshot of the area of the desktop where upper left x and y
# coordinates are 0 and 10, width is 100 and height is 200
Win32::Screenshot.desktop_area(0, 10, 100, 200) do |width, height, bmp|
  File.open("picture4.bmp", "wb") {|file| file.puts bmp}
end

# take a screenshot of the window, which has a text part of it's title
Win32::Screenshot.window("Internet Explorer") do |width, height, bmp|
  File.open("picture5.bmp", "wb") {|file| file.puts bmp}
end

# take a screenshot of the window, which matches regexp against it's title
Win32::Screenshot.window(/Internet Explorer/) do |width, height, bmp|
  File.open("picture6.bmp", "wb") {|file| file.puts bmp}
end

# take a screenshot of the area of the window where upper left x and y
# coordinates are 0 and 10, width is 100 and height is 200
Win32::Screenshot.window_area("Internet Explorer", 0, 10, 100, 200) do |width, height, bmp|
  File.open("picture7.bmp", "wb") {|file| file.puts bmp}
end

# take a screenshot of the window with specified window handle
Win32::Screenshot.hwnd(window_handle) do |width, height, bmp|
  File.open("picture8.bmp", "wb") {|file| file.puts bmp}
end

# take a screenshot of the area of the window with a window handle
# where upper left x and y
# coordinates are 0 and 10, width is 100 and height is 200
Win32::Screenshot.hwnd_area(window_handle, 0, 10, 100, 200) do |width, height, bmp|
  File.open("picture9.bmp", "wb") {|file| file.puts bmp}
end

# convert a screenshot to the png format with RMagick
require 'rmagick'

Win32::Screenshot.hwnd(window_handle) do |width, height, bmp|
  img = Magick::Image.from_blob(bmp)
  png = img[0].to_blob {self.format = 'PNG'}
  File.open("picture10.png", "wb") {|file| file.puts png}
end

#
# Win32::Screenshot has also some utility methods which can be used for various needs

# enumerate all windows and return their titles and handles
Win32::Screenshot::Util.all_windows # => [["title1", 2345], ["title2", 3456]]

# retrieve window title for the specified window handle
Win32::Screenshot::Util.window_title(2345) # => "title1"

# retrieve window handle for the specified title
Win32::Screenshot::Util.window_hwnd("title1") # => 2345

# title can be also a regular expression with first matching window retrieved
Win32::Screenshot::Util.window_hwnd(/tit.*1/) # => 2345

# retrive dimensions of a window with specified handle in an Array of [width, height]
# might be useful for using with different capture_area methods
Win32::Screenshot::Util.dimensions_for(2345) # => [100, 200]
