Hi,
I want to make a screenshot for windows that are not open, the objective of this script is to see the window before opening it. Can you help me please
I would not expect this is possible. If you need something like this at runtime, you will probably have to open every window in the designer to build a complete set of static images. With a bunch of scripting to display them in a popup frame.
Will a screenshot of the window the last time it was saved be sufficient? If so, here is a video of something I built to do just that.

That’s cool, how’d you do that? Looks like you’re grabbing whatever the designer uses to get that little preview thumbnail, right?

Kyle, I can’t see the video and the project file throws an error “premature end of file” when I try to import. Is it possible to post a code snippet?
Make sure you're on v7.9.5 or above for that project file. Or set up a temporary install of 7.9.5 that you can cut and paste from.
What I’ve done in the past was open up the project file in a text editor and change the version to match yours. Can’t claim this won’t screw things up on some differences in versions, but should be alright for this.
