Is there more than the following ways to capture a screen shot? I'm looking for a way to copy the expanded menu items in a Windows Form:

I've tried the following:
1). PrintScreen - captures the entire screen, but is too big for what I need

2). ALT + PrintScreen - causes menu items to collapse, and just captures the form i'm in....


any other ideas?

I wrote a python script that captures the screen. It saves as .jpg, .bmp, .png, and .gif. I could add image resizing if needed.

Let me know if you want a copy.
