    Hello!

    I am trying to get a screenshot of my application, but I don't want the start menu. Do you know how to get this screenshot without the start menu?

    Here is my code:

    QScreen *screen = QGuiApplication::primaryScreen();
            if (const QWindow *window = windowHandle())
                screen = window->screen();
    
            if (!screen) {
                return;
            }
    
            QPixmap originalPixmap = screen->grabWindow(0);
    
            QApplication::clipboard()->setPixmap(originalPixmap, QClipboard::Clipboard);
    
            QIcon icon2(":/ThermalAnalysis/Resources/ThermalAnalysis/screenshot.png");
            icon2.addPixmap(QPixmap(":/ThermalAnalysis/Resources/ThermalAnalysis/screenshot.png"));
            ui->screenshotButton->setIcon(icon2);
    
            QMessageBox::information(NULL, "Screenshot", "Screenshot sent to clipboard.", QMessageBox::Ok);
    

    Thank you very much

      Hi! You can use QWidget::grab() to grab only the widget you're interested in. E.g., to grab the central widget of a QMainWindow, use something like this:

      void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
      {
          auto const pm = centralWidget()->grab();
          pm.save("/path/to/file.png");
      }
