I'm trying to code a ScreenCapture of a specific screen area from a Script. It seems as though I should be able to write JavaScript to do this using the Graphics.CopyFromScreen functionality of .NET, but I can't get this to work !

Hi Emwsorthman,

As I understand from your description, you would like to capture the screen of a specific area using javascript.

You can try use an ActiveX control named ActiveScreento capture the specific screen area as follows:

1)Cature the whole screen and save to a jpg file
var as=new ActiveXObject("ActiveScreen.Capturer");
as.CaptureScreen();
var fs=as.SaveToFile("test1.jpg");
WScript.Echo("Image Size = " + fs.toString() + "\r\n");

2)Cature a rectangle of the screen and save to a png file
var as=new ActiveXObject("ActiveScreen.Capturer");
as.CaptureRect(200, 200, 400, 300);
var fs=as.SaveToFile("test3.png");
WScript.Echo("Image Size = " + fs.toString() + "\r\n");
