Google Chrome Pages as files
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2022 02:42 PM

Hi,

I save application windows and browser pages to files using the Save Window() function. If these are windows of any application or pages of FireFox, IE browsers, everything is fine. But if these are Google Chrome browser pages, I get files with a black square. What could be the reason ?

Show via code how you are doing. It's easier to help.

The code is simple:
1. Through EnumChildWindows() I get a list of handles of visible windows
2. For each handle I show the window in full screen ShowWindow(hWn, 3) and through SaveWindow(hWn, path+file name, width, height,) I save the DC windows to a file (bmp/jpg/png)
Everything is fine, but it does not work to copy DC to a file from the Google Chrome page

Simulate a Print screen, and then save the Clipboard to a file... This, however, is not very convenient because you will have to pull the windows to the foreground. But can do that. Thank you, Jimmy !
