Converting html files to images

I have a list of paths to html files in a listbox. I need to convert each of these html files to an image (.gif, .jpg, .bmp or whatever). I need the delphi code or maybe a component that can do this.

I am using Delphi 6. I am awarding 500 points (the maximum allowed) for this.

Sorry Hypoviax. I am getting the following error:

EInvalid Graphic with message 'Unsupported Clipboard Format'

I am new with Delphi so don't know how to fix this. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hypoviax

Hang on. It should work. It worked on mine. I'll retest it

Hypoviax

I know why you get that message. What i have done is put a try accept block around the code. This will fix an error so you won't see it when you run the exe. However in delphi you will still see this message even if it is handled. To turn it off:

Tools- Debugger Options - Language Exceptions - then down the bottom uncheck the box saying "Stop on Delphi Exceptions"

Also make sure that timer 2 is not enabled

Many thanks for your help Hypoviax. This is excellent! You deserve the 500 points.

If you know of a way to get rid of the taskbar in the image, please let me know. Other than that, I am very pleased.

Hypoviax

Try

form1.bringtofront;

or

application.bringtofront

Put either of the above inside timer2.ontimer procedure, before the screenshot is taken...

and make the formstyle property = fsstayontop

The other way of course is to make your taskbar minimise of the screen when not in use. This is a windows setting under Taskbar properties (control panel)
