The keycode for the "print screen" button

[Welshy31]

Hey all.

I was wondering if there was a keycode for the printscreen button.

I am making a projector with some artwork in it that is copyrighted, and the
owner specifically expresses that the user of the computer cannot take
screen shots of the art.

I thought that I could get around this by copying something to the clipboard
every time that the print screen button was pressed, but I can't find a
key-code for that key.

Any and all help is much appreciated.

I don't think Lingo traps that key at all. You can use the Buddy API Xtra
and its virtual key codes, though.

baKeyBeenPressed(44)

You might also want to take a look at these Xtras:

Even if you trap the print screen key, that will not prevent people from
capturing the screen. There are many screen capture utilities that don't
use the print screen key at all.
