Hello Westsider,

You can use ShellExecute to run an app/dll that will do a screenshot and email it for you.
Here is the ShellExecute.pla sample.

WOW!!!!! Thanks Henry!!!!
I've always suspected I could do this from inside a pla but never tried it. This is a great solution and I'll write an app in VS to do what I need.

Cheers,
Westsider

Exe File

Postby Westsider » 12 May 2016

Here is the C# exe file I wrote in Visual Studio. You would have to replace your email address and mail client then compile it and finally point the .pla that Henry wrote -

ShellExecute.pla sample

referenced in the above post to the compiled exe on your hard drive.

Code: Select all

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Net.Mail;

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Windows.Forms;


namespace MailScreenShot
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Capture the screen to a stream
Bitmap memoryImage = new Bitmap(SystemInformation.VirtualScreen.Width,
SystemInformation.VirtualScreen.Height,
PixelFormat.Format64bppArgb);
Graphics memoryGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(memoryImage);
memoryGraphics.CopyFromScreen(SystemInformation.VirtualScreen.X,
SystemInformation.VirtualScreen.Y,
0,
0,
SystemInformation.VirtualScreen.Size,
CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy);
System.IO.Stream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
memoryImage.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
stream.Position = 0;

// send mail
string to = "yourname@yourisp.com"; // Replace with your email address
string from = "yourname@yourisp.com"; // Replace with your email address
MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to);
message.Subject = "TS";
message.Body = @"Trade Alert";
Attachment attach = new Attachment(stream, "MyImage.Jpeg");
message.Attachments.Add(attach);
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("Your Mail Client"); // Replace with your email client
// Credentials are necessary if the server requires the client
// to authenticate before it will send e-mail on the client's behalf.
client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
try
{
client.Send(message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in CreateTestMessage2(): {0}",
ex.ToString());
}
return;
}
}
}
