I'm looking for some Visual Basic code that will stop users from taking screen shot of my application. How is something like that done? Thanks for your time. Have a great one. |

The vbVision website provides a public domain Visual Basic project that claims to prevent the screen image of a VB form from being captured to the clipboard. I have not been able to test it myself, but the code looks like it should work. The software is described at http://www.mvps.org/vbvision/Sample_Projects.htm , look for the No Clipboard Demo about halfway down the page. The project files are available at http://www.mvps.org/vbvision/_samples/No_Clipboard_Demo.zip However, please note that some graphics software (such as Paintshop Pro) will still be able to capture screen shots even if you have disabled PrintScreen. I hope this answers your question. If not, please request an answer clarification before you proceed to rate it. Search term used on Google: prevent "print screen" OR prtscr clipboard "visual basic" OR vb |

You could probably make it difficult for people to make screenshots by using the PrintScreen (PrtScr) button, but you could never stop someone from photographing the screen with a camera. It is also possible to tap the signal that runs through the video card to get a perfect digital copy of the screen image. |
