I know that there already exist script(s) of the kind. Then, why another one?
It'll also capture the transparent windows and/or the mouse cursor, according to the options.
Please read the comments in the script for the details.

PS. It REQUIREs GdiPlus.dll.

DOWNLOAD ScreenCapture.ahk.

Awesome, thanks. The client area option is exactly what I need.

Pretty cool. I wish I had an immediate need for this but now I know where to find it when the time comes. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Sean, great thing!

One question:
Is there a way to have the image in the clipboard instead of saving it to a file? This would definitely make my day :wink:

I updated the script with this option. After a thought, I became not so sure if I did it in absolutely right way, however, seems to work in my system XPSP2. The syntax will be: set the sFileTo to 0 like:

CaptureScreen("100, 100, 400, 400", False, 0)

BTW, if you want to save the hBitmap in the clipboard to the file additionally, you can use Convert(), specifying the first sFileFr to 0 or "", like:

Convert(0, A_Temp . "\screen.png")

Just woke up and found your answer... Thanks! Some jobs are done at sleep
Unfortunately, the link in your first post still points to the old version. Have you updated the file elsewhere?

use WinGetPos to know where the window is, then do the math on the coordinates.

[engunneer]
