Capturing a Window's Image
Sometimes, the best way to convey a problem or suggestion is by submitting a screen capture -- an image of an application's window. To do this,
run the application MSPaint, which is provided with Windows
- click in the title bar of window whose screen capture you wish to construct
while depressing your keyboard's ALT key, strike your keyboard's Print Screen key (it might be abbreviated Prt Scr or similar)
- In MSPaint,
activate the Edit menu's Paste entry -- you should now see an image of the application window in MSPaint
activate the File menu's Save As entry, and save the the image to a file (leave the Save as type selector at 24-bit bitmap)
to post the capture to the online DXLab Discussion Group, click the New Topic button on the left. In the message body, click the paper-clip icon highlighted in red below, and you'll be prompted to select the file you saved in step 4.b.
If you're uncomfortable posting the capture publicly, attach the file you saved in step 4b to an email message to aa6yq@ambersoft.com
Note: the resolution available is not detailed enough to capture an entire screen. Please limit screen shots to specific windows, as described above.
