Screenshot of the whole desktop in SFML?
« on: December 23, 2016, 07:45:31 pm »
Hi, is there a function in SFML that captures the whole desktop, not just the window, and saves it to a buffer or an image object?

No, SFML doesn't provide such a feature. However people here on the forum have previously written some short code snippets that allow to do this. Just run a forum search and you should be able to find it.

Why dont you just use print sc then open a paint program and paste it in there?
