I 'd like to screencapture Visual Studio 2015 with some menues pulled down. With all screencapture and bare printscreen tools I get the same: a screenshot, but none of the menu stuff is displayed. Even when menues are displayed, I hit printscreen, the menues are on the screen before and after hitting the screen, but its not on the screenshot. I It's like some menue layer is not part of the screen, it never appears on any screenshot!!

Is there are way to do this? Is there a tool, that can do that?

I'm not happy to be forced to take a photo of the screen with my digital camera, bu that's the only solution I know so far in this blunt situation.

With the Microsoft Snipping Tool, I also failed to capture the Visual Studio 2015 menu. But a simple Ctrl-Alt-PrtScr stored the following picture in my clipboard:

  • Thank you for the tip. I tried snipping tool before and it didn't work. With your positive prove I tried again and it works after these preconditions: 1.) stop dropbox service, to prevent it to capture the CTRL-ALT-PRINTSCREEN, before it can be caugth by the snipping tool. 2.) Start snipping tool, then ESC to exit immediate capture 3.) Pulldown the menues eg. of Visual Studio 4.) CTRL-ALT printscreen (copies the stuff into clipboard) – olippuner Oct 23 '16 at 10:21
  • Important Addition: Snipping tool must be started. Without snipping tool the menues are immediately closed when pressing CNTRL-ALT beforde you can hit PRINTSCREEN – olippuner Oct 23 '16 at 10:28
  • this also works for intellisense/tooltips. Also intellisense failure tooltips on the `` failure tooltip – Maslow Dec 12 '16 at 15:29
