I believe you have to get a 3rd party control.

Assuming you have PowerShell installed: [^], you can take a screen shot from the command-line.

See the answers to the following question on StackOverFlow: [^].

You can find discussion of, and links to, several other 3rd. party tools that can be installed and then used from the command-line here: [^].

Solution 2

There is no command you can type in a CMD box that will take a screenshot without using a 3rd party tool to do it.
