Hi.
Is there a way to capture a menu, so we can put a picture of the menu in the
documentation?
TIA

Hi Augie,
I have not try it yet but I have heard that using the snapshot utility would
allow you to get a .bmp file of the existing screen, so you can use it in
your ms-windows box to document it.

The problem with snapshot is you need to click on a button ( i beleive),
hence you can’t have a program menu display at the same time you click
on the button. My guess of Augie’s problem.

You’re right. The QNX 6 version of snapshot has a time-delay feature so
that you can choose the area and then bring up the menu you want to
capture.
For the QNX 4 docs, we used an older program called phgrab that had this
feature, but I don’t think it shipped with Photon past version 1.1. We had
to sweet-talk one of the developers into keeping a copy of it for us. Maybe
if you’re lucky, you can track down a copy of it.

It looks like there is a way to do it with snapshot. Try something like
this:
sleep 5; snapshot -A 100100 -o 5050 -f print1.bmp
You’ll have 5 seconds to display the menu before snapshot runs.
Good luck!

Are you typing this in a pterm window? Or did you change the command
options for snapshot?
It will take some time getting the correct coordinates for all the different
menus we want to capture

Just capture the whole screen, then using your favorite graphic editor
remove the unwanted stuff?
