    Hello, Thanks for reply. Actually I am running a macro which will extract free edges automatically and takes picture od complete hypermesh window. It is capturing image but The gui for edges is not showing. In backend macro running. I want picture along with edges window activation... Tool - > edges... This should highlight while taking pictures......

    i believe the screenshot goes only with the contents of the graphical area.

    can you take a screenshot (manually) of what you want in the end? not sure if I got it. do you waant the panel also?

    Exactly right... I want panel mainly.. Graphical area I am OK but panel mainly I need it with. Panel should change as per macro....

    You could get the whole area (might be too much), using the HDW command: CaptureDesktop

     

    hwi OpenStack

    hwi GetSessionHandle sess

    sess CaptureDesktop png C:/temp mypicture.png

    hwi CloseStack

    Thank you very much for valuable help. One more query..... When I read macro pushpanel items are not showing as active in hypermesh window while capturing pic... Means I am trying to capture free edge picture along with Tool->edges window active in panel and in desktop... So that we can show clearly we are in edge panel....
