I'm trying to take screen shots from a simple web browser I created using C#. here's what I've found so far
public class NativeMethods
{
[ComImport]
[Guid("0000010D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046")]
[InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)]
interface IViewObject
{
void Draw([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] uint dwAspect, int lindex, IntPtr pvAspect, [In] IntPtr ptd, IntPtr hdcTargetDev, IntPtr hdcDraw, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Struct)] ref RECT lprcBounds, [In] IntPtr lprcWBounds, IntPtr pfnContinue, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] uint dwContinue);
}
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 4)]
struct RECT
{
public int Left;
public int Top;
public int Right;
public int Bottom;
}
public static void GetImage(object obj, Image destination, Color backgroundColor)
{
using (Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(destination))
{
IntPtr deviceContextHandle = IntPtr.Zero;
RECT rectangle = new RECT();
rectangle.Right = destination.Width;
rectangle.Bottom = destination.Height;
graphics.Clear(backgroundColor);
try
{
deviceContextHandle = graphics.GetHdc();
IViewObject viewObject = obj as IViewObject;
viewObject.Draw(1, -1, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, deviceContextHandle, ref rectangle, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, 0);
}
finally
{
if (deviceContextHandle != IntPtr.Zero)
{
graphics.ReleaseHdc(deviceContextHandle);
}
}
}
}
}
Well, this perfectly works if it's a normal web page, but when the flash player loads the content, I get blank black images. What I want to do is to be able to take screen shots from the flash content even if the browser is minimised programmatically of course.
So Is there a way to modify this code somehow? or a way to access the the flash player's cache and export images out of it?
