'Capturing a BMP of the entire screen is a great tool for documenting
'an application, particularly when the application has multiple dialogs
'spread out over the screen. The Windows keybd_event function does the trick.
'Primary Code:
keybd_event(%VK_SnapShot, 0, 0, 0) 'place active dialog on clipboar
'Compilable Example: (Jose Includes)
'press the button and then paste the image from the clipboard into
'another application such as MSPaint.
