Can't use Print Screen in full-screen?

[L B]

I've always had this problem with LE, didn't bother to post about it until now, and it's still far from being crucial.

In any case, when I use full-screen mode and press print-screen, the saved buffer is simply black.

 

That would be my Graphics(); code:

Graphics(1440, 900, 32, 60, 0);

 

Any idea?

Of the views I got: Do you actually have that glitch or do you not?

I don't think windows can printscreen openGL/directX/overlay-video contexes .. or do you refer to SaveBuffer() command?

He refers to actual full screen and the print screen on the keyboard produces a black screen . If you do not have full screen, then the print screen button produces a normal screenshot.

800,600,32 --> black screenshot

800,600 --> normal screenshot

This appears to be a Windows issue... if you google the topic, its well covered, and almost all suggestions refer to using a 3rd party app to do the capture. In this case, saving a screenshot with LE commands would be the way to go.

This actually happens because of blitzmax.

When I was making Mahjongg I noticed this. I noticed that if you printscreen, alt-tab,paste to paint it will be black, but alt-tab again and printscreen again and the paste will be good.

Didn't test it with Leadwerks but it's based on Blitzmax internals and also uses OpenGL so it should be the same.
