Hi everyone



Hope this topic hasn't been covered before, I couldn't see it in the faq.



We have an Arev 2.1 database sitting on a Windows NT 4.0 Server (Sp3) with the NT Revelation Service running. We can't get printscreen to work on NT 4.0 Workstations. On our Windows 95 PC's the "shift+Printscrn" command works fine but not on NT W/s. I realize this may be an NT W/s related question rather than an Arev one but would appreciate any ideas that anyone has.



Cheers, Peter

<QUOTE>Indeed it is not an Arev issue. However, try 

which will cut the active window into the clipboard, which you can the copy into paintbrush or a WP peogramme and print (even in glorious colour)



JB,

SUBROUTINE SCREEN.DUMP



* By S. Smith, 1992. This is a quick & dirty utility !!!

* Invoked from a hotkey/macro  - will create a dos file with

* the contents of the screen. For creating documentation, etc.



DECLARE SUBROUTINE MSG, VIDEO.RW



* this common block entry retains the dos filename 

* between screen dumps

COMMON /VIDEO/  DOS.FILENAME



* provide default dos filename if none yet specified

IF DOS.FILENAME=' THEN

  DOS.FILENAME=SCREEN.DMP'

END



* capture screen buffer contents

IMAGE='

VIDEO.RW(0,0,(@CRTWIDE-1),(@CRTHIGH-1),'R',IMAGE)



* Allow user to modify filename

MSG('Enter filename to write to:','RC',DOS.FILENAME,DOS.FILENAME)



* do nothing if user escapes/omits filename

IF DOS.FILENAME=' THEN RETURN



* get dos output file size

OFFSET=DIR(DOS.FILENAME)



* if file already exists let user (a) overwrite existing file

* or (b) append this dump to existing file



IF OFFSET ] 0 THEN

  REPLY=A'

  TXT1=File ':DOS.FILENAME:' already exists!'

  TXT1=Overwrite/Append ? (O/A)"

  MSG(TXT1,'RC',REPLY,REPLY)



  * user hit escape, so abort

  IF REPLY=' THEN RETURN

END



* if overwrite then start at byte 0

IF REPLY=O' THEN

  OFFSET=0

END



* if starting at byte 0 create 0 byte file

IF OFFSET < 1  THEN

  OSWRITE '' TO DOS.FILENAME

END



* take original image and insert carriage-return line feeds

NEW.IMAGE='

FOR I=1 TO LEN(IMAGE) STEP 2

NEW.IMAGE := IMAGEI,1

IF MOD(I+1,160)=0 THEN

  NEW.IMAGE := \0D0A\

END

NEXT I



* add page break to end of dump, so that each screen has its own page

NEW.IMAGE := CHAR(12)



* write image to file

OSOPEN DOS.FILENAME TO OS.FILE THEN

  OSBWRITE NEW.IMAGE TO OS.FILE AT OFFSET

END ELSE

  MSG('Error - cannot open ':DOS.FILENAME,'','','')

END
