Okay so I'm making this simple screenshot program using bitmaps and such, but when i try to make a hotkey like f12, for instance, nothing happens, i coded it just to show a message box, but it doesn't even do that. So i set it back to do both message box and take a screenshot but still doesn't work. private static NotifyIcon notifyIcon;
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles();
System.Windows.Forms.Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
// We need to dispose here, or the icon will not remove until the
// system tray is updated.
System.Windows.Forms.Application.ApplicationExit += delegate
{
notifyIcon.Dispose();
};
CreateNotifyIcon();
System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run();
}
/// <summary>
/// Creates the icon that sits in the system tray.
/// </summary>
///
static void Program_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if(e.KeyCode == Keys.F12)
{
MessageBox.Show("ScreenShot Taken");
TakeFullScreenShot();
}
else if(e.KeyCode == Keys.F11)
{
Application.Exit();
}
}
private static void CreateNotifyIcon()
{
notifyIcon = new NotifyIcon
{
Icon = Resources.AppIcon, ContextMenu = GetContextMenu()
};
notifyIcon.Visible = true;
}
private static ContextMenu GetContextMenu()
{
string myPath = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString();
System.Diagnostics.Process prc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
prc.StartInfo.FileName = myPath;
ContextMenu menu = new ContextMenu();
menu.MenuItems.Add("Take Screenshot (F12)", delegate { TakeFullScreenShot(); });
menu.MenuItems.Add("Open Folder", delegate { prc.Start(); });
menu.MenuItems.Add("Exit", delegate { System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit(); });
return menu;
}
private static void TakeFullScreenShot()
{
int width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width;
int height = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height;
using (Bitmap screenshot = new Bitmap(width, height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb))
{
using (Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(screenshot))
{
Point origin = new Point(0, 0);
Size screenSize = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size;
//Copy Entire screen to entire bitmap.
graphics.CopyFromScreen(origin, origin, screenSize);
}
//Check to see if the file exists, if it does, append.
int append = 1;
while (File.Exists($"Screenshot{append}.jpg"))
append++;
string fileName = $"Screenshot{append}.jpg";
screenshot.Save(fileName, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}
}
You may not need all of that but its just to make sure i didn't mess anything up when trying to build it. Also, this program has no form to it, its just a icon in your taskbar, if you right click on it and click Take Screenshot(F12) It will take the screenshot with out problem. Thank you!
