how come "SendKeys.Send("{PRTSC}")"......

how come SendKeys.Send("{PRTSC}") only takes a picture of the active window and not the whole screen.... Is there a way to change that?

Perhaps it has something to do with this:

"Note You can't use SendKeys to send keystrokes to an application that is not designed to run in Microsoft Windows. Sendkeys also can't send the PRINT SCREEN key {PRTSC} to any application."

-VB6 Help file, SendKeys Statement

try ALT + PRTSCR I would assume that vb is backwards to windows; ALT+PrtScr captures just the active window in the windows OS, so if vb only captures the active window with just prtscr... Its worth a try

nope.... didnt work
