Screenshot of a web browser
I have a TwebBrowser on a form that I need to take a screenshot of. Some may think that this is not a duplicate. But it doesn't, because the solutions in orter's answers don't work, but everything just gives honey a black screen.
Sรฅ I'm trying to get my pixels from DC (0)
First source code:
Place TWebBrowser and TButton on the form and add the following code to the OnCreate event:
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
Doc: Variant;
begin
Width := 1350;
Height := 860;
with WebBrowser1 do
begin
Left := 0;
Top := 0;
Width := 1330;
Height := 760;
Anchors := [akLeft, akTop, akRight, akBottom];
end;
with Button1 do
begin
Left := 1048;
Top := 776;
Width := 58;
Height := 25;
Anchors := [akRight, akBottom];
Caption := 'GetDC';
OnClick := Button1Click;
end;
WebBrowser1.Navigate('about:blank');
Doc := WebBrowser1.Document;
Doc.Clear;
Doc.Write('<embed src="https://r1---sn-cgxqc55oqovgq-55ae.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?sver=3&requiressl=yes&itag=22&ratebypass=yes&pl=19' +

Doc.Close;
end;
This gives you a WebControl playing video. There is a reason for this, but that is beyond the scope of this question.
Then the Screenshot material:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
bitmap: TBitmap;
BrowserRect: TRect;
DC: HDC;
w, h: Integer;
pt: TPoint;
begin
bitmap := TBitmap.Create;
BrowserRect := WebBrowser1.ClientRect;
DC := GetDC(0);
bitmap.Height := WebBrowser1.Height;
bitmap.Width := WebBrowser1.Width;
BitBlt(bitmap.Canvas.Handle, BrowserRect.Left, BrowserRect.Top, WebBrowser1.Width, WebBrowser1.Height, DC, 0, 0, SrcCopy);
bitmap.SaveToFile('aa.bmp');
FreeAndNil(bitmap);
end;
I've tried a lot of things. But I can't figure out the Webbrowser bounds correctly. Sรฅ I just posted this code.
Windows : Windows 8.1 64 bit
Delphi : Delphi Xe6
Exe : 64 bit
Long story short: Is there any other way to capture a screenshot of TWebBrowser or How to calculate the abosolute boundaries of TWebBrowser
* UPDATE *
Based on the code I got from Dalija Prasnikar, I wrote a procedure to capture WinControl
procedure PrintControl(AControl: TWinControl; var AOut: TBitmap);
var
DC: HDC;
pt: TPoint;
begin
if not Assigned(AControl) then
Exit;
if not Assigned(AOut) then
Exit;
DC := GetDC(0);
pt := AControl.ClientToScreen(AControl.BoundsRect.TopLeft);
try
AOut.Height := AControl.Height;
AOut.Width := AControl.Width;
BitBlt(AOut.Canvas.Handle, 0, 0, AControl.Width, AControl.Height, DC, pt.X, pt.Y, SRCCOPY);
finally
ReleaseDC(0, DC);
end;
end;

You have to use WebBrowser.BoundsRect
and then convert point TopLeft
coordinates to screen coordinates to get the correct start of your control WebBrowser
.
You have used parameters incorrectly BitBlt
. Declaration
function BitBlt(DestDC: HDC; X, Y, Width, Height: Integer; SrcDC: HDC;
XSrc, YSrc: Integer; Rop: DWORD): BOOL; stdcall;
X
and Y
are the coordinates at the destination HDC
, not the source.
You also need to release the captured one DC
after you are done with it, or you will be leaking Windows resources.
var
Bitmap: TBitmap;
BrowserRect: TRect;
DC: HDC;
W, h: integer;
pt: TPoint;
begin
Bitmap := TBitmap.Create;
try
BrowserRect := WebBrowser1.BoundsRect;
pt := ClientToScreen(BrowserRect.TopLeft);
DC := GetDC(0);
try
Bitmap.Height := WebBrowser1.Height;
Bitmap.Width := WebBrowser1.Width;
BitBlt(Bitmap.Canvas.Handle, 0, 0, WebBrowser1.Width, WebBrowser1.Height, DC, pt.X, pt.Y, SRCCOPY);
Bitmap.SaveToFile('c:\work\aa.bmp');
finally
ReleaseDC(0, DC);
end;
finally
FreeAndNil(Bitmap);
end;
end;
