Source example for capturing a screen capture of a WPF Window

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

Currently I am using the White API to control a WPF application, but the White API has no functionality to generate a bitmap image of the current window for which it is generating UI events for. So, I am looking for some example code where I can take a snapshot of an external WPF window running in a separate process (application under test) passing in an UIAutomationClient.AutomationElement. So far, I have only managed to find screen capture source examples for GDI screen capture applications where they will not capture the image of a running WPF application. Any suggestions on where to look is greatly appreciated.

I found this on google:

Before using that example, I would check pInvoke for the correct signatures of the interop calls because I'm almost positive that what you see at the link provided won't work on a 64-bit system. pInvoke has the right method prototypes.
