[Closed] Make Viewport snapshot

Haha, this all works now.

my bad I set the index viewPanelIndex = 1; and Not 0

void BasicTools::Image(){
	int viewPanelIndex = 0;
	int index = 3;
	IViewPanel* pPanel = GetViewPanelManager()->GetViewPanel(viewPanelIndex);
	BITMAPINFO *bmi = NULL;
	BITMAPINFOHEADER *bmih;
	BitmapInfo biFile;
	Bitmap *map;
	int size;
	TheManager->SelectFileOutput(&biFile, ip->GetMAXHWnd(), _M("Testing"));
	//if(!biFile.Name()[0])
	//	return;

	ViewExp *vpt = nullptr;
	vpt = pPanel->GetViewExpByIndex(index).ToPointer();

	vpt->getGW()->getDIB(NULL, &size);
	bmi = (BITMAPINFO *)malloc(size);
	bmih = (BITMAPINFOHEADER *)bmi;
	vpt->getGW()->getDIB(bmi, &size);
	biFile.SetWidth((WORD)bmih->biWidth);
	biFile.SetHeight((WORD)bmih->biHeight);
	biFile.SetType(BMM_TRUE_32);
	map = TheManager->Create(&biFile);
	map->OpenOutput(&biFile);
	map->FromDib(bmi);
	map->Write(&biFile);
	map->Close(&biFile);
	if(bmi)
	free(bmi);
	// ip->ReleaseViewport(vpt);
}

I’m not using ReleaseViewport not sure if this will give me problems in the end

Sorry for my stupid question, but I know nothing about SDK:
How can I insert your code in a maxscript file to test it?

No sorry, it has to be in a c++ plugin with function publishing to use in maxscript
