Hi,
I did not document this as there was little interest in scripting HyperSnap. Please email me at support@... address and I'll send you a sample project in C# - Visual Studio 2010.
The methods I impemented so far in this scripting object are:

boolean ShowWindow; // set to true to show HyperSnap 7 window
boolean CaptureWindow(long hwnd); // pass hwnd=0 for interactive capture
boolean CaptureText(long hwnd);
boolean CaptureTextByWinTitle(BSTR winTitle);
boolean Test(BSTR message); // shows a message box with the text, for testing purposes
boolean SaveImage(BSTR saveName, BSTR sArg);
boolean CaptureRegion(long x, long y, long sx, long sy);
boolean ExtendedCaptureWindow(long hwnd, long sx, long sy);
boolean CaptureWindowScrolling(long hwnd); // pass hwnd=0 for interactive capture
boolean CopyLastCapture();

Hi Klaus, in that case please wait, until Greg gives a comment to the topic. I myself have never worked with COM - or any other programming language. Thomas - Lesser Admin, whose Return key again does not work

Hi Thomas,

thanks for responding.

TomD101
just google "com server ole automation" ... please state what functions you are interested in.

I am experienced in using COM server automation via VB/VBS/VBA.

I simply want to know which function HyperSnap offers via COM automation to decide if it makes sense to use it in local programming (to save time for otherwise manual interactions), e.g. to control time intervalled screen saving (full screen / regions and controlling the output file names and paths) from VBA ... and more (at least all the functions which can have shortcuts).
Thanks.
Klaus

Hello kpl1949,
