3.2.16 IBandiCapture::CaptureImage

Capture current screen to image file.

This function runs more faster than D3DXSaveSurfaceToFile() function.

• Definition

HRESULT CaptureImage(LPCWSTR pwszFilePath, INT nFileType, INT nQuality, INT nCaptureMode,
                     BOOL bIncludeCursor, LONG_PTR lpParam1)

• Parameters

  LPCWSTR pwszFilePath

  [in] Path where the JPEG image will be placed in. This path must be full path with extension.

  INT nFileType

  [in] Specifies image file type.

  BCAP_IMAGE_BMP

  Save as BMP format. It doesn't compress image data.

  BCAP_IMAGE_JPG

  Save as JPEG format. It compresses image data. Also JPEG format is lossy format.

  It doesn't compress image data.

  BCAP_IMAGE_PNG

  Save as PNG format. On capturing D3D9 surface, 32bpp(bit per pixel) PNG image is created if surface can handle alpha channel(D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8). Otherwise 24bpp PNG file is created.

  INT nQuality

  [in] Specifies image quality(compression rate) when saving JPEG file. This value can range from 1 ~ 100. Usually 80 is reasonable value to get a quality image.

  INT nCaptureMode

  [in] Decide which surface to capture.

  BCAP_MODE_D3D9

  BCAP_MODE_D3D9_SCALE

  BCAP_MODE_D3D9_SWAPCHAIN

  capture D3D9 surface.

  BCAP_MODE_D3D8

  capture D3D8 surface.

  BCAP_MODE_D3D10

  capture D3D10 surface.

  BCAP_MODE_GL

  capture OpenGL surface.

  BCAP_MODE_DDRAW7

  capture DDRAW7 surface.

  BOOL bIncludeCursor

  [in] Specifies whether to include or not include the mouse cursor image.

  LONG_PTR lpParam1

  [in] Pass device interface pointer according to nCaptureMode mode.

  BCAP_MODE_D3D9 : Pointer of Direct3D9 interface to be captured(IDirect3DDevice9*).

  BCAP_MODE_D3D9_SCALE : Pointer of Direct3D9 interface to be captured (IDirect3DDevice9*).

  BCAP_MODE_D3D9_SWAPCHAIN : Pointer of Direct3D9 swapchain interface to be captured (IDirect3DSwapChain9*).

  BCAP_MODE_D3D8 : Pointer of Direct3D8 interface to be captured(IDirect3DDevice8*).

  BCAP_MODE_D3D10 : Pointer of IDXGISwapChain interface to be captured(IDXGISwapChain*).

  BCAP_MODE_GL : If Open GL is captured, No need to set the parameter(NULL).

  BCAP_MODE_DDRAW7 : Pointer of DDRAW7 Backbuffer interface to be captured (IDirectDrawSurface7*).

• Return value

  BCERR_INVALIDARG

  Invalid input parameters.

  BCERR_FILE_CREATE

  Can't create image file.

  BCERR_FILE_WRITE

  Can't save image file.

  BC_OK

  Image capture is succeeded.
