Hiya,

I'm working on a plugin which basically takes a screen shot then saves it...

here's my code so far



as you can see, it takes a screen shot and gets the hBitmap from the clipboard, But i have no idea on how to save it, or better yet, return it to DBPro as an image...

any ideas?

Yours

You could make a memblock, and then copy the data from the hBitmap into the memblock, and then use 'make image from memblock'.

A faster but more complicated way would be to look at the internal commands of the ImageDebug dll. There is a command to create a new image. You can then use another function to get a pointer to the IDirect3DTexture9 interface. From there you need to get the first surface level using 'GetSurfaceLevel'. Once you have the surface, you can call 'GetDC' on the surface, and then use GDI to copy the data from the hBitmap to the hDC.

have a look here http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=119287&b=22 it shows how to copy a bitmap into a memblock in the gdk ,a plugin is basically the same just sub the gdks memblock commands for your called plugin ones .

an easy way to save a full dbpro snapshot is to grab the dbpro`s d3d device pointer and then grab the backbuffer surface and use d3dxsavesurfacetofile function in the dx sdk , i did this a while back will post the code when i find it.

All you need is load the procedure of the image DLL, decorated as ?Make@@YAPAUIDirect3DTexture9@@HHH@Z
It takes 3 parameters: Image Number, Width, Height and it returns a pointer to the newly created IDirect3DTexture9 structure.
