Thanks for these! Just what I needed to help track my crypto trading for tax purposes. I really hate the fact that exchanges use like 8+ decimal places to compare as a ratio to BTC, which itself fluctuates in wild swings. I know why they do it, but it's not human friendly. Such a pain the butt to do...

You're trying to *set* the imagepixmapid? That's supposed to be a read-only property... anyway, I think something else is going on with your stack. I regularly export snapshots of cards and even of the entire screen area in a fraction of a second. Yep.. busted! (sheepish grin) It does work, just no...

OP already tried this and said this is very slow. Best, Mark Only if you call 10 seconds to save a file "slow" :) Not sure what the problem is since have an 8 core machine with 16 gigs of RAM. The card sized group in my test was just a normal sized card with 20 or so controls on it offscreen. Sigh....

Hi TJ, this appears to work: on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo local tVar export snapshot from rect (the rect of this cd) of this cd to tVar as png put tVar into img 1 end mouseUp Cheers, Malte Hey Malte.. long time no chat! Sorry but that just gives you the CURRENT card size, not the full offscreen buffer. I...

Ok technically that does work except that I just tried it out with stack of a bunch of controls all grouped into 1 group and had these problems: The background area around the controls renders black (which is not a big deal since I guess you could use a large white grc as a backdrop) But the real pr...

Mark, No that simply gives you an image of that field.. I need the entire card image. Try this: - create a stack that is 1500 by 1500 -put an image on it in the lower right corner -now resize the stack to 400 by 400 No version of export snapshot that I can come up witth gives you a file that contain...

That doesn't work - the command does exports a rect larger than the window size but it clips everything to black not currently showing. I need to access the entire card even the clipped portions. For example this used to work: set the imagepixmapID of image miniView to the pixmapID of this stack ..t...

The docs say that its not supported in 2.7.. but I'm running 3.5 and it's still returning a 0. This has broken an old stack I wanted to update as well as put a damper on my plans for some new stuff.

Any other ways to grab the entire bitmap of a stack even when obscured or offscreen?

thanks

Actually I figured it out last night :) I had a space " " after the last char of the name of the column and that is what was causing it to not update the text after closing the cell. Go figure! So I removed the space and all is well again. The weird thing is that I tried to duplicate this "behavior"...

Hi all, I'm new to datagrids and have encountered a situation that I hope is easily explained by some incorrectly set property setting or something. Basically I have a grid with like 6 columns and I can click and edit the text of each row and column except that one of the columns reverts back to the...
