About builtin screen grab tool in Pro 7

Setup: Designer Pro 7 on win 7 (64bit)

Trying to use the builtin screen capture tools under Utilities/Screen capture.

There appears to be no way to do a selected capture or partial selection of parts of a window. Instead we have:
Full screen []
active window []
content of active window [x]

So I selected the last one above as shown `Content of Active Window'

But what I actually get is a mini version of the entire Designer pro 7 application
Including the menus, borders, and all that guff that no one usually wants in a capture of part of the full screen.

So what does `Content of active window' mean as apposed to `Active window'?

Its really unbelievable that there is no provision like `Region' found in most screen grab tools where you select with the mouse what you want captured.

Maybe I'm just missing how to use this thing, but have included the result of what a
`content of active window' does. Its a mini version of the entire application...

I don't think there is any region option. I just capture the whole screen and then quickly crop it in Xara.

Paint Shop Pro will let you do what you are asking... but that's quite a sacrifice to use it just for that. ;)

But what is the difference between:
`Active Window'
And
`Content of active window' ?

Near as I can tell they do exactly the same thing. Both create a mini version of the entire Designer Pro application.

"Active window" includes the Windows borders and buttons. "Content of Active window" does not.

thank u for info
