[XAP] Screen Capturer v3 - use Camera key to get screenshot
- Thread starter JerryJiang

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1299134
Previous screen capture apps used Jaxbot's dehydration tweak (which requires registry editing, thus ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES) to let the capture app run behind the app you wanted to screenshot. Since this app doesn't require that capability, I'm guessing it's entirely based on Mango background services?
If so, that's super-cool, and the best use of them I've seen yet.

Not working for me on my HD2... Please fix this? Do like fiinix and do a HD2 version with capture on Search button... That would be great

I am not sure but is there any way you can export to png? I know jpeg messes up the image quality.
A lossless format like PNG actually makes good sense. It's also actually quite easy to implement the compression algorithm if you don't have a library to do it for you, though if there is a library available it may be better optimized.
@JerryJiang:
This is an awesome app, I really love it. Very well-written.
Would you be willing to share the source code? I can see a few things I'd like to write that use similar stuff to what you did here, and it would be good to not re-invent the wheel.

Well, at least with YukiXDA & XBoxmod's BTTF ROM I have the green call button as camera, and it is NOT working with this app. Other than that, it works perfectly as an ordinary camera button.

Great work JerryJiang!
I have been to say "not motivated" to release The Dllimport as "ATL" compiled to work on Mango (devices). Great anyways that you/creator succeeded to make it to work.
Ill be releasing a next version of The Dllimport today (Mango compatible); (that i have been holding for too long locally on my desktop in a folder.... -.- Bout 2 month done....)
- What a shame...
Well, great helping me out.

Great, I cannot imagine how will it help the developers to create more and more homebrew applications.

83Yesterday, I posted a test version in wpxap.com, and now this is the updated version.
= Step =
- Click "Start Capture Task" to start capturing (A timer will start, and during this period, application will listen to Camera button event)
- You may need to wait one or several seconds, a message box will show up to let you know you can start catpuring.
- Navigate to any application, and touch Camera button to capture the screen
- A message box will show if the capturing is success, you can capture 20 images a one time (yes, you can ask for more if you want)
- When the Capture Task ends, a Toast will show up to let you save the captured image, tap the Toast to return to application
- The thumbnail will list and the captured images will stored in Pictures Hub
- Tap the thumbnail will delete the temporary image file in the application folder
= Settings Help =
- Prevent Capture Task auto run: Capture Task uses BackgroundAgent to run and wait for Camera button event, BackgroundAgent may auto run in some case, enable this option to stop auto capture.
- The Capture Task duration: How long will the Capture Task run before it stop to accept Camera button event.
= Notice =
- Game and movie is not supported in this version.
- The Capture Task only save temporary file, you need go back to application to trigger saving file to Picutres Hub.

If you like my work, please buy me a beer.2Could someone look into this question?
No one seems to be able to answer this, either in this forum or anywhere else.
Is there a technical reason why a screen capture app cannot be developed for a locked Windows 7x phone?
If not, is there any good reason why this has not been done?1
Because it uses interop to access the bitmap of the screen and Microsoft doesn't allow that for marketplace apps.
