David Spreadbury suggested:
<< Check out the SnagIt Help > Custom Scroll Input options.>>
Yep, did that. That's where it seemed to focus on capturing scrolling Web
pages, not a simple list.
<< 1. Set the Custom Scroll Input option
Yep
<< 2. Execute the capture (default is Ctrl+Shift+P).
Yep
<< 3. With the cross hairs, define the area of the displayed pull-down
OK, there's the catch -- when I press Ctrl+Shift+P, the drop-down list and
the arrow disappear. If I click the field to reopen the list, SnagIt thinks
I'm done with the capture.
I've tried capturing an area large enough for the drop-down and then
clicking the hand pointer on the spot where the down arrow should be. That
gets me a partial list -- usually just the bottom.
I appreciate the responses so far!
