screen snap find and colour coding

[AbbasAkhtar]

im trying to creat an ap at current, which takes snapshots every second for 4 seconds every minute. the thing is, when it takes snapshots and saves them as jpeg files, for example, if im watching a movie or looking at a visualization on my computer, e.g. windows media player, winamp, etc. or something moving like an animation, the whole screen freezes for about 500 milliseconds, then comes bak, i chheckd out mycode, and realized that the snap screen was causing the problem, and when it came to saving the jpeg file, this caused the problem too. it wus mostly saving the screen snaped jpeg which froze it up for a bit. i don't no why, but it did, i have all the code in one procedure to take the snap and save the pic.

i would like to no, all the different ways of taking a screen snapshot, could someone paste some code, or any good components, all ideas will be appreciated.

and, im looking for a way to colour code my richtext, i tried a component, called colour code, and i tried installing it, but it wouldn't work, i think it wass only for delphi2/3/4 only. i use delphi 6, the method of colour coding must be fast, there has to be a quick way to colour code the whole thing.

and im looking for a good way to doing Find and Find again on my richtext control, also a search and replace feature too.

can anyone help me out here, please thanks.

As far as print screen goes, I posted this tip a while back:

Hope this helps Clive

Also, check out the delphi help for TFindDialog and TReplaceDialog. These can be used in conjunction with TRichEdits to provide the features you described. Clive
