Screen capture utility
This utility offers some advantages over the method above, including the option to capture the mouse
pointer in the image. Open it by choosing Utilities > Screen Capture.
Screen area:
Here you can choose the screen area you would like to capture. You can capture the full screen, the
active window in its entirety, or just the content of the active window without the window border.
Options:
Here you can choose whether or not the mouse pointer is included in the screenshot. Also choose
whether you just want to capture one screenshot or whether to keep the utility turned on for the session
so you can take successive shots each time you press the assigned key shortcut.
The output section lets you choose how to handle the captured screen image. By default it will be directly
inserted into the current Web Designer MX Premium design. Alternatively you can also save a BMP
(Windows Bitmap) or PNG file for each screenshot into any folder. The files created are named
"ScreenCapture", "ScreenCapture1", "ScreenCapture2", etc. Choose the Target folder for the files
using the Browse...
button.
You can define almost any hot-key combination (Shift, Alt, Ctrl + key) to trigger the screenshot. Just
click in the key shortcut field and then press the desired key combination, e.g. "Ctrl+S". The chosen
shortcut appears in the key shortcut field. If it clashes with any defined Web Designer Premium shortcut,
you'll be warned with a message appearing at the bottom of the dialog, but this doesn't matter if you will
have other windows active when taking the screenshots. Press Restore
to return to the previous selected shortcut.
Instead of using a shortcut key to take the screenshot, you can instead use the Time option. This is useful
in cases where any keyboard activity can change the display you want to capture, such as a pop-up
tooltip which may disappear if you were to press a key. Select the time option and enter a delay value in
seconds. The screenshot will then be taken for you automatically once the specified period of time has
elapsed. The timer starts as soon as you click the Start
button.
