I wonder if there is a (preferably cross-platform) method to:

1) Select a region of the current desktop by placing a rectangle over it with the mouse.

2) Copy the part of the desktop within the rectangle as an image to the clipboard.

If so what functions do I need to accomplish the selection and the copy?

I am using Lazarus 2.0.10 and Fpc 3.2.0 on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04.5

I realized this probably is better handled on the Lazarus *forum* than in the mail list so I created a thread there. Please respond on the forum if you want to contribute.

Thanks.
