I can't imagine why they aren't being captured, but I also have no idea how Camtasia is capturing the data from the screen. The titlebar button windows are created using something called layered windows (WS_EX_LAYERED) which may have something to do with it. They don't behave like standard windows. I'm going to mark this topic as complete for now, as there isn't much I can do about Camtasia. :(

Layered windows is also why you can't (easily) capture a picture of a video that's playing in Windows Media Player. You would think if you can see it.... :? ]]> RE: Camtasia Recorder (screen video capture) doesn't see titlebar buttons?

Unless somebody is specifically documenting titlebar buttons it doesn't really matter. If they are documenting them, as I was, you gotta wonder why. :roll: Probably best that it doesn't work..., eh? :wink:

I wouldn't sweat it. ]]> RE: Camtasia Recorder (screen video capture) doesn't see titlebar buttons?

I wanted to demonstrate with DF at high priority that the buttons still slide around like they attached on gel mounts when you move a window. I started Camtasia recorder and the buttons, while they appear during recording, are not captured! Odd. Don't know if there's anything to do about it, other than to note it, I thought I would report it. ]]>
