Snapshot of screen

2014-01-18 Thread John Dixon
When in the IDE
Go to the 'File' menu
'Import Control'  'Snaphot of Screen'

Drag out a rectangle
Does the screenshot get placed on the card ?

I am using 6.5.1 OSX9... and it does not seem to work unless I type 'cmd - 
period' and then the screenshot appears...

Can someone confirm that this seems to be flaky, or am I going about it the 
wrong way ?

Have you tried pressing the return (or enter) key after dragging out the 
rectangle? That worked for me with 6.5.1 OS X 7.

Though once you've dragged out the rectangle, it just disappears. This is a 
little odd as it gives the impression that the area of the screen has not been 
selected. It is re-inforced by the fact that the cross-hair cursor is still 
displayed, though you can't select a new area of the screening by dragging a 
new rectangle.

Thanks Peter...:-)

That is what I was not doing... pressing the return key... I agree it is a 
little disconcerting to have the stack disappear...:-)

Re: Snapshot of screen

2014-01-18 Thread Paul Hibbert
This is a known bug in LC 6.5.1 and should be fixed soon, the bug report is [ 
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11654 ].

There is an odd workaround, just set the focus to any field before issuing the 
'import snapShot' command and it should work as you expect without pressing 
enter.

If you don't have any fields available on the card, just use something likeā€¦

on mouseUp
   create invisible field tempField --WORKAROUND *remove after LC6.5.1 update
   focus on field tempField --*
   import snapshot
   delete field tempField --*
end mouseUp
