paste screen shots into MS Paint

do u want those three steps ?
If u want finally save the screen capture then do the foloowing :

SendKeys "{PRTSC}", True
SavePicture Clipboard.GetData(), "some_path\ss1.bmp"

better version using API :

Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, _
ByVal bScan As Byte, _
ByVal dwFlags As Long, _
ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)
Private Const VK_SNAPSHOT = &H2C

and it will be :

keybd_event VK_SNAPSHOT, 1, 0, 0
SavePicture Clipboard.GetData(), "some_path\ss1.bmp"

Thank you Amahdy, That was exactly what i was needing. :)

Thanks Ron and Amahdy, that works perfectly, I have no idea why i was trying to make it more complicated than it really was. I guess i forgot to K.I.S.S.

The API doesn't work too ?

It's true u can have a problem with sendkeys method , but the API must work .
