Displaying and/or Saving Snapshot SOLVED

[Wolfgang Weh]

Hello,

I would like to get the image of a snapshot when when it has been created.

What I'm doing at the moment...

To detect if a snapshot has been created I look at the mouse notifications:

Code: Select all

Case "Notifications.Mouse"
   TryGetProperty("Notifications.Mouse.msg", e.dataOut, 0)
   If ((e.dataOut IsNot Nothing) AndAlso (e.dataOut = "514")) Then   ' Left Mouse Button Up
      TryGetProperty("Notifications.Mouse.TargetName", e.dataOut, 0)
      If ((e.dataOut IsNot Nothing) AndAlso (e.dataOut = "Pages")) Then    ' Click on the PDF Page
         TryGetProperty("Tools.Active", e.dataOut, 0)
         If ((e.dataOut IsNot Nothing) AndAlso (e.dataOut = "32614")) Then    ' Snapshot Tool Active
            RaiseEvent SnapshotCreated()
         End If
      End If
   End If

If there is a left mouse button up message, on the 'pages' and the snapshot tool is active, then a snapshot has been created.

Then I call "DoEvents" to let the PDF viewer finish it's work, and then try to get the image from the clipboard.

But, at the moment this will always return me the previous snapshot, not the new snapshot.

Any ideas?

Is there a better way to approach this?

Thanks in advance

Hi Wolfgang,

I've asked a colleague from the dev team (Vasyl) to take a look, but he is in our Canadian office so the reply from him will come a bit later.

Hi Wolfgang.

But, at the moment this will always return me the previous snapshot, not the new snapshot.

I can suggest next solution:

instead of direct call:
RaiseEvent SnapshotCreated()

use timer:
StartTimer(SnapshotCreatedTmId, 10) ; // 10ms or any other small interval

then handle timer-event:

OnSnapshotCreatedTm()
{
StopTimer(SnapshotCreatedTmId);
RaiseEvent SnapshotCreated();
}

HTH.

Hi Vasyl,

yes, that helps, it works

Thank you!

Have a nice weekend
