Screen capture

This function has one usage - to capture part of screen and then to save these images to specified place...

After you run this function, you'll dialog box containing all needed settings for this function. It's divided in several parts:, which are described in following table
Screen part Here you can select part of screen that will be captured. It can be whole screen, whole window in foreground or client area of window in foreground (it's the same as whole window, but without title, menu and scroll bars).
Capture using Here are you selecting, when will be screen captures. You can select between time interval and pressing button. If you select time interval, screen will be captured every n seconds, depending on your selection. If you select second choice, it will be captured by pressing of selected combination of keys.
Comment: If there is previous capture active by capturing screen (this means file from previous capture is being saved), capture won't be performed and you will have to wait until it ends (busyness is signalized by a short beep of speaker). This can be nasty if you set short time interval or press key combination many times. In this case screen can be captured many times after you want (delayed in consequence of low processor performance...)
Output... Here you have to select, where will be captured images saved and which format will they have. If selected directory won't exist, program will create it automatically. Output file will have selected format and will be created using prefix "uniview_" after which will be informations about date and time of file creation. If file with this name did already exist and wasn't just for reading, it will be overwritten!
Warning:Directory must be in format 'x:\path' or 'x:\path\'. If you input different path format, author doesn't guaratee path of directory, which may be created and/or used. For example: if you write x:path, directories will be created recursively. This isn't failure of program but OS - it's verified.
Buttons on side After pressing button 'Go', capturing process will begin. Using 'Cancel' button you can stop screen capture...

After starting capture using 'Go' button a window will appear, which will enable you to stop capture in any moment (excepting when an image is being saved - in this case capture will be terminated after saving).


Comment: It's not certain that program will be able to capture screen on any time point. Problems may appear mostly by multimedia games (using DirectX, OpenGL or Glide) or by playing some video files. In this specific events UniView may not be able to capture screen and you should use some specialized programs (HyperSnap or so).
