I need a button to print the current screen to a printer in the same way that the Print Screen key does to the clipboard. Has anyone achieved this?

Many thanks
Roger
 
Your Print Screen button works when a FPW application is running just like it does for other Windows applications.

Use Alt+Print Screen to copy the active Windows 'window' image to your clipboard, and then paste it into a Word document.

Within FP itself, the best you can do that I know of is to have a Report built which will display the screen GET contents, etc. and, when a Print Button is clicked, Print the Report.

Good Luck,

While I know of techniques that work in VFP, FPW is just too restrictive ("old") to directly deal with the API and COM server calls necessary to do it.
