How Do You "Print Screen" From A Procedural FoxPro Program?

[drosenkranz]

I've assumed ownership of an antique program entirely written in .prg's. How Do You "Print Screen" From A Procedural FoxPro Program?

Thanks

If you are upgrading this application to VFP, then try the article at

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q255/2/79.ASP

- "HOWTO: Create a COM DLL with Visual FoxPro that Prints Screen Image". If you are keeping it in FPW, consider a "RUN" of a third-party screen capture program.

This may not be what you're looking for, but

Before the .prgs execute:

set device to printer

will send subsequent

@ say

screen output to a printer, or simply

Set Printer On

to catch lines like

? "Print This"

If you want to to programmatically trigger a "Print Screen" keypress, there is, I believe no way to do it in DOS except through a C or Assembler call. Or are you on Windows?
