Is there a way to do a full screen capture of another
application's window in Cocoa? Just thought I'd try
here as people in the Carbon list all said that this
was impossible, but Cocoa might have access to certain
things that Carbon doesn't. FWIW, this IS possible
under Windows.
I need to do a capture of the entire image, not just
what's visible in one window. I know there's a way to
capture the entire screen, as shown in the snapshot
sample code, but this is not what I want to do. I want
to capture a specific window in a specific
application, and capture the entire image, so that if
the document is 8 pages long, then I want an image of
all 8 pages rendered.
The Print -> Preview -> Save as PDF approach isn't
attractive to me as I only get the content view and I
don't get an exact replica of what's seen on the
screen.
None of the Apple-supplied or third-party screen
capture applications offer this capability on OS X,
from what I can tell. Maybe there's no easy
programmatic solution to this on OS X?
Thanks,
Steve
