Active from screen capture

[Chian Yuh]

I have 2 forms:1 is parent form and another is child form. When I click capture the active screen, the title(Black area) of the image that I captured will be in black color. I couldn't capture the whole active screen(child form) including the form title.

 

Here is my code:

 

private void btnCapture_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    Form activeChild = this.ActiveMdiChild;

if (activeChild == null){MessageBox.Show("no active form child found!");return;}else{SaveAsBitmap(activeChild, activeChild + ".Jpeg");MessageBox.Show("Screen Captured successfully.");}}public void SaveAsBitmap(Control control, string fileName){SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog(); dialog.Filter = "JPeg Image|*.jpg|Bitmap Image|*.bmp|Gif Image|*.gif";if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK){Graphics g = control.CreateGraphics();Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(control.Width, control.Height); control.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, control.Width, control.Height)); bmp.Save(dialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Jpeg);//bmp.Save("C://test.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);}}

Sorry. Please refer to this. I attached the image.
Thank you.

 Code:

 private void btnCapture_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

   {
        Form activeChild = this.ActiveMdiChild;
        if (activeChild == null)

{
            MessageBox.Show("no active form child found!");
            return;
        }
        else
        {
            SaveAsBitmap(activeChild, activeChild + ".Jpeg");
            MessageBox.Show("Screen Captured successfully.");
        }
    }

    public void SaveAsBitmap(Control control, string fileName)
    {
        SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog();
        dialog.Filter = "JPeg Image|*.jpg|Bitmap Image|*.bmp|Gif Image|*.gif";
        if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            Graphics g = control.CreateGraphics();
            Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(control.Width, control.Height);
            control.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, control.Width, control.Height));
            bmp.Save(dialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
            //bmp.Save("C://test.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);

        }
    }

Thank you for writing.

I managed to reproduce the incorrect behavior and I logged this issue in our feedback portal. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes and add your vote/comment to it on the following link - feedback item. I have also updated Telerik points. 

Until a permanent fix becomes available please use the following workaround: 

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.IsMdiContainer = true;
    this.Load += Form1_Load;
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadForm form = new RadForm();
    form.Text = "MDI Child 1";
    form.MdiParent = this;
    form.Show();
}

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadForm activeChild = this.ActiveMdiChild as RadForm;
    if (activeChild == null)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("no active form child found!");
        return;
    }
    else
    {
        SaveAsBitmap(activeChild, activeChild + ".Jpeg");
        MessageBox.Show("Screen Captured successfully.");
    }
}

public void SaveAsBitmap(Form form, string fileName)
{
    Bitmap bmpScreenshot = new Bitmap(form.Bounds.Width, form.Bounds.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
    Graphics gfxScreenshot = Graphics.FromImage(bmpScreenshot);
    Point pt = form.Parent.PointToScreen(form.Location);
    gfxScreenshot.CopyFromScreen(pt.X, pt.Y, 0, 0, form.Bounds.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy);
    SaveFileDialog saveImageDialog = new SaveFileDialog();
    saveImageDialog.Title = "Select output file:";
    saveImageDialog.Filter = "JPeg Image|*.jpg|Bitmap Image|*.bmp|Gif Image|*.gif";
    if (saveImageDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        bmpScreenshot.Save(saveImageDialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Png);
    }
}

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
