2. Copy and paste
3. Press Thanks
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim bounds As Rectangle
Dim screenshot As System.Drawing.Bitmap
Dim graph As Graphics
bounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds
screenshot = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
graph = Graphics.FromImage(screenshot)
graph.CopyFromScreen(bounds.X, bounds.Y, 0, 0, bounds.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy)
PictureBox1.Image = screenshot
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim savefiledialog1 As New SaveFileDialog
Try
savefiledialog1.Title = "Save File"
savefiledialog1.FileName = "*.bmp"
savefiledialog1.Filter = "Bitmap |*.bmp"
If savefiledialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
PictureBox1.Image.Save(savefiledialog1.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)

ya I couldnt find a way how to but it doesn't really matter
doesnt windows have one built in? "print screen" lol but thx anyways
with hotkeys you could take multiple in a game and save them all and a lot of older computers don't have that button
most games now when you press printscreen it saves a different file everytime you press it.
and everybody that has a computer has a print screen on the keyboard. that was a while ago that it wasn't mainstream. in fact i have a keyboard from when i used windows 95 that even has it. :P and nobody has that old of a computer anymore that plays games.
