I was hoping for something a little more automated, i.e. a LV application that will print the screen with one keystroke without needing to open Word and pasting. Currently I'm using a "shareware" print screen (Gadwin PrintScreen) running in the background with my application. It works fine but I've been having nuisance memory/crash issues and I'm trying to eliminate all possible culprits. The user needs a print screen function and I would prefer to get it done within my application if possible.

If the screen you want to print is a VI front panel you created, then you can pass everything you want to print to a subvi, set the subvi to Print at Completion.

If your vi is only part of the screen, you've to capture the whole screen first.  (Let me know if this is the case.  I can help you).  Then display the captured image on a subvi, set the subvi to Print at Completion.

The application has a number of vi's and associated front panels running at once. It also has IMAQ images displayed. I need to print the entire screen.

You can gathering all indectors (with refnum)  you want to print, and create a new subvi just for print.  It might need a little work, but it can be done without too much trouble.

If you really want to capture the whole screen as pixmap (it might be slower), and display it in a picture control/indicator,

take a look Image Toolbox or G Toolbox at:
