Save Panel to JPEG with Title/Menus/Border

[nealpederson]

Again, do you have a demo for the Image Toolbox for LabVIEW 7.0 so I can try
what you describe below?

Neal,

Are you able/willing to use IMAQ Vision functions?

George: I bet you could sell 2x your current level of LabVIEW add-on software if your Web site were more clear and better-organized!

John,

Unfortunately, this is for an application/product that will be widely
distributed and the IMAQ licensing is way too expensive for what I need this
for. I can actually get by with the function in LabVIEW that lets me save
the front panel but it would be nicer if I could include the title bar and
that is why I am pursuing other options. Thanks anyways!

George,

I was able to make your utility work but it is extremely slow in my
application! What took just a fraction of a second before takes about three
seconds for a 1024x768 screen shot with your utility and this is on a very
fast computer. I am doing a continuous data acquisition in a parallel loop
to the screen capture but the capture halts my acquisition loop and forces a
buffer overrun. It doesn't look like this will work for my application.

P.S. In the example you posted you can use FP.WindBounds to get the bounds
of the entire window instead of using FP.PanelBounds and adding offsets that
do not work consistently.

Convert the captured image to pixmap data takes a lot of time. If you want speed, you have to use direct save.

For the window rect, you can use NI's lvwutil32.zip to avoid calculation.
