Snipper - Window Snipping Tool

[hasantr]

Thank you. There is nothing to miss except the ability to paint the selected screen area in V1.

[Krd]

I would also like some kind of brush, pen, paint, or anything that marks the snipped image.

It would be much easier to use something like this rather than Windows Paint in many cases.

FG, do you consider implementing anything of this kind in the future?

Anyone else run into the following code error randomly when trying to take a snip? I can't seem to figure out the cause of it.

Code: Select all

Error: This variable has not been assigned a value.

Specifically: static W

	346: Return { X: X, Y: Y, W: W, H: H, X2: X + W, Y2: Y + H }
	349: {
▶	350: If GetKeyState('Shift', 'P') or DisplayWH and (W > 60 and H > 35)
	351: {
	352: guiSSR.GetPos(&X, &Y, &W, &H)

I am not sure how the script could get to this line without having already defined W and H but you can give them a default value in the Static line just to make sure.

For me it is line 229 (can vary due to Extensions).

Change: Static guiSSR, guiInfoDialog, DisplayWH := true, X, Y, W, H
To: Static guiSSR, guiInfoDialog, DisplayWH := true, X, Y, W := 0, H := 0

Let me know if this solves your problem and I will make the change in the OP of the script.

@FanaticGuru
Hello how can i Snipping with Visible rectangle, because i can't see the border.

Thanks

@FanaticGuru
Sorry,

it's ok.

I added a new small return wrapper for the Ocr plugin.

I adapted the text detected with Ocr to @teadrinkerin Translate library. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=63835

I designed a simple gui for previewing without copying to the clipboard.

Code: Select all

; Snipper - Extension - OCR
; Version: 2023 05 05
Extensions.Push({ OCR1: { Text: 'Copy: Clipboard with OCR ', Func: OCR2Clipboard } })
Extensions.Push({ OCR1: { Text: 'Show:  View with Ocr', Func: OCR2ToView } })


You need to use the already existing OCR2Clipboard plugin. I just added the OCR2ToReturn and OCR2ToView wrappers.
OCR2Clipboard(Borders := false)
{
	; Get Hwnd of Active Snip
	Hwnd := WinGetID('A')
	; Get hBitMap of Snip
	hBitMap := SendMessage(0x173, 0, 0, guiSnips[Hwnd].GuiObj.Pic)
	; OCR of hBitMap
	Result := OCR.FromBitmap(hBitMap)
	; Put Result.Text on Clipboard
	A_Clipboard := Result.Text
}

OCR2ToView(Borders := false)
{
	; Get Hwnd of Active Snip
	Hwnd := WinGetID('A')
	; Get hBitMap of Snip
	hBitMap := SendMessage(0x173, 0, 0, guiSnips[Hwnd].GuiObj.Pic)
	; OCR of hBitMap
	Result := OCR.FromBitmap(hBitMap)
	; Put Result.Text on Clipboard
	TextShowGuiFnc(Result.Text)
}

OCR2ToReturn(Borders := false)
{
	; Get Hwnd of Active Snip
	Hwnd := WinGetID('A')
	; Get hBitMap of Snip
	hBitMap := SendMessage(0x173, 0, 0, guiSnips[Hwnd].GuiObj.Pic)
	; OCR of hBitMap
	Result := OCR.FromBitmap(hBitMap)
	; Put Result.Text on Clipboard
	Return Result.Text
}


/** https://github.com/Descolada/OCR
 * OCR library: a wrapper for the the UWP Windows.Media.Ocr library.
 * Based on the UWP OCR function for AHK v1 by malcev.
 * 
 * Ways of initiating OCR:
 * OCR(IRandomAccessStream, lang?)
 * OCR.FromDesktop(lang?, scale:=1)
 * OCR.FromRect(X, Y, W, H, lang?, scale:=1)
 * OCR.FromWindow(WinTitle?, lang?, scale:=1, onlyClientArea:=0, mode:=2)
 * OCR.FromFile(FileName, lang?)
 * OCR.FromBitmap(HBitmap, lang?)
 * 
 * Additional methods:
 * OCR.GetAvailableLanguages()
 * OCR.LoadLanguage(lang:="FirstFromAvailableLanguages")
 * OCR.WaitText(needle, timeout:=-1, func?, casesense:=False, comparefunc?)
 *      Calls a func (the provided OCR method) until a string is found
 * OCR.WordsBoundingRect(words*)
 *      Returns the bounding rectangle for multiple words
 * 
 * Properties:
 * OCR.MaxImageDimension
 * MinImageDimension is not documented, but appears to be 40 pixels (source: user FanaticGuru in AutoHotkey forums)
 * 
 * OCR returns an OCR results object:
 * Result.Text         => All recognized text
 * Result.TextAngle    => Clockwise rotation of the recognized text 
 * Result.Lines        => Array of all Line objects
 * Result.Words        => Array of all Word objects
 * Result.ImageWidth   => Used image width
 * Result.ImageHeight  => Used image height
 * 
 * Result.FindString(needle, i:=1, casesense:=False, wordCompareFunc?)
 *      Finds a string in the result
 * Result.Click(Obj, WhichButton?, ClickCount?, DownOrUp?)
 *      Clicks an object (Word, FindString result etc)
 * Result.ControlClick(obj, WinTitle?, WinText?, WhichButton?, ClickCount?, Options?, ExcludeTitle?, ExcludeText?)
 *      ControlClicks an object (Word, FindString result etc)
 * Result.Highlight(obj?, showTime:=2000, color:="Red", d:=2)
 *      Highlights an object on the screen, or removes the highlighting
 * 
 * 
 * Line object:
 * Line.Text         => Recognized text of the line
 * Line.Words        => Array of Word objects for the Line
 * 
 * Word object:
 * Line.Text         => Recognized text of the word
 * Line.x,y,w,h      => Size and location of the Word. Coordinates are relative to the original image.
 * Line.BoundingRect => Bounding rectangle of the Word in format {x,y,w,h}. Coordinates are relative to the original image.
 * 
 * Additional notes:
 * Languages are recognized in BCP-47 language tags. Eg. OCR.FromFile("myfile.bmp", "en-AU")
 * Languages can be installed for example with PowerShell (run as admin): Install-Language <language-tag>
 *      or from Language settings in Settings.
 * Not all language packs support OCR though. A list of supported language can be gotten from 
 * Powershell (run as admin) with the following command: Get-WindowsCapability -Online | Where-Object { $_.Name -Like 'Language.OCR*' }

I haven't dealt with Autohotkey for a long time, this is my first time with V2. Please be aware that things can go wrong.

A tip:

I was having trouble taking a screenshot of some tooltips, so I thought I'd use it in conjunction with the built-in snipping tool. This works.
Press Win+Shift+S to make the built-in snipping tool overlay the screen, then hold down the Windows key and drag the mouse to capture the tooltip without losing it. The only problem is that Snipper's lines don't come out when drawing the screen, but the image is captured successfully. Maybe it can be turned into a plugin.

Hello everyone,

This tool seems great to me but like these colleagues I also need to be able to draw squares to highlight parts of the captured image with a fixed color and the possibility of blurring other parts to hide confidential information from the capture. I've been looking for how to do it but I've only been making ahk scripts for a month and I'm not able to. Any clue on how to do it? I haven't found any plug-in that does it.

Thank you all!

I would also like some kind of brush, pen, paint, or anything that marks the snipped image.

It would be much easier to use something like this rather than Windows Paint in many cases.

FG, do you consider implementing anything of this kind in the future?

[boiler]

@Insaid — There are free tools like Greenshot that do what you are seeking.

[Insaid]

Thank you for answering so quickly!

I know some of these tools but in my corporate environment I am not allowed to download and run applications but I have managed to get Autohotkey approved, which would be a perfect solution for me.

@Insaid — There are free tools like Greenshot that do what you are seeking.

[boiler]

It’s a shame your company would rather have you spend time creating the equivalent of existing tools from scratch for something you and your colleagues need rather than having IT review and revise their policies or at least approve tools necessary for your job.

[Insaid]

@boiler

I totally agree with you but I have to look for an alternative. I have worked for many years in the same company and I know that I cannot change it. At least now I have the option of getting an alternative thanks to Autohotkey. I hope that someone with the same needs but more knowledge can make a plug-in that works for us. While I will continue learning to try to do it myself when I have enough knowledge.

Actually, it wouldn't be too difficult to manipulate this tool. You can put snips on top of each other and quote them collectively in a new one. You can adjust the transparency with a small plugin. There are also resizing and duplication plugins available.

Another simple plugin can be made for the highlight line at the top.

Thanks for your tips. I will review the existing code well and try to do what I need although I think I have to learn something more. If I get it I will share the code here for whoever may need it. I found this code for the blur: viewtopic.php?f=76&t=119389

when set Quality in SaveBitmapToFile
it will throw error in this line

Code: Select all

NumPut(Quality, NumGet(NumPut(4, NumPut(1, _p + 0, "UPtr") + 20, "UInt"), "UPtr"), "UInt")

Type need put in first
I just put type in the first par,but not work
I dont know which is Number,Target,Offset

Code: Select all

+ToolWindow

can be hidden from the Alt+Tab and Win+Tab menu using the Alt+Tab property.
This is how it was in Ahk v1 Version. Is there any reason not to make it default? Would you consider adding it to the settings menu?

[FanaticGuru]

Updated in First Post

Change Log: 2024 01 09

• Fixed bug in Gdip SaveBitMapToFile when setting image quality
• Added Settings_Image_Quality to DEFAULT SETTING - VARIABLES section to set image quality
• Added Settings_ToolWindow to DEFAULT SETTING - VARIABLES section so Snips can be set to be hidden from the taskbar

I like having an icon on the taskbar when I have a Snip created but I added a setting for it. At some point I might expand the Gui Settings dialog to allow it to be changed on the fly.

It would be nice to have all the Settings_ variables adjustable through a dialog. I just find creating Gui tedious. I will probably eventually do it though.

Fixed. This bug seems to be in every conversion of the Gdip library to v2 that I looked at. The confusion is probably because NumPut and NumGet changed from v1 to v2 beta and then again for v2 release.

Kind of sad there is not a rock solid Gdip v2 out there. I have searched and every one I have found has numerous conversion bugs. It is one reason I created the class of select Gdip functions used in Snipper.
