Anyone know of a freeware screengrabber that captures Windows drop-down menus?

I'm using ScreenGrab Pro and it will not grab drop-downs (like in your browser, if you click "File" or "Edit" you get a drop-down menu).

Any pointers gratefully received

can it be done with pressing print screen then into paint and paste?

windows print screen does not do it, I have one called screen print gold, its a never ending trial version that works, and will do what you want with the drop downs, right clicks etc..

if you PM me an email addy, i will flirt it over, its only 1.6 meg.

just in a normal browser i just did it and it worked fine, key is not to press alt+printscreen or it vapes the drop down menu

that was one in my computer then looking the drives did a drop down menu and pressed print screen

Chip Sengravy

I use either Paintshop Pro's capture, or an app called Snagit. Both aint free though, so no use to you

What are you all talking about? I am just intrested.
I use Ctrl with print screen just when I want the pic I am looking at to be pasted in word then printed off etc.

So what is this you are talking a bout please?

taking a picture of whatever is on your desktop, useful for documenting instructions and the like, so you can port it into word with annotation

yep you can do that too, you dont need to hold control though just press print screen and open word and ctrl+V, with paint though you can edit the pic to show just the part you want, my first answer explained it but there are variations

Chip Sengravy

If you paste the image into paint, you can select a smaller part of the image with the square select/right click /copy clip to.....

Snagit is small, cheap and easy to use, though not free.
