Sometimes you want to take a screen shot,
however often Windows has trouble with big data amounts and becomes very slow.
The simple solution is to make many small screen shots and paste the result together.
It's not light speed, however often faster than taking the whole screen at once.
const
cTileSize = 50;
function TForm1.GetSCREENSHOT: TBitmap;
var
Locked: Boolean;
X, Y, XS, YS: Integer;
Canvas: TCanvas;
R: TRect;
begin
Result := TBitmap.Create;
Result.Width := Screen.Width;
Result.Height := Screen.Height;
Canvas := TCanvas.Create;
Canvas.Handle := GetDC(0);
Locked := Canvas.TryLock;
try
XS := Pred(Screen.Width div cTileSize);
if Screen.Width mod cTileSize 0 then
Inc(XS);
YS := Pred(Screen.Height div cTileSize);
if Screen.Height mod cTileSize 0 then
Inc(YS);
for X := 0 to XS do
for Y := 0 to YS do
begin
R := Rect(
X * cTileSize, Y * cTileSize, Succ(X) * cTileSize,
Succ(Y) * cTileSize);
Result.Canvas.CopyRect(R, Canvas, R);
end;
finally
if Locked then
Canvas.Unlock;
ReleaseDC(0, Canvas.Handle);
Canvas.Free;
end;
end;
