Since WP doesn't have the ability to take a screen capture, is there a way to do it via app or program? TIA

Not possible

Risking to sound like a broken record because about every second post of mine here basically just gives this "impossible" bit of info, and also risking accusation of being anti-WP7 and anti-Microsoft:

It's not possible to write a screenshot app. Microsoft did not make APIs available on WP7 that allows any app to capture the screen content of another app.

All the screenshots that you see in the Marketplace were taken on the emulator running on Windows. It it said that some devs "jailbreak" their phones mainly for the ability to run "homebrew" screenshot utilities...

well it needs dev unlock, i dont know if you can get that specially since chevron is not selling more tokens but WPCentral posted about this App some time ago

http://www.windowscentral.com/scree...allows-use-camera-button-and-endless-captures

if you can get dev unlock then it should work.

also some days ago they posted about this

http://www.windowscentral.com/wp-screenshot-sends-screenshots-phone-pc-over-network

of course it also requires Dev Unlock.

good luck :cool:

im sorry but you dont sount anti-Microsoft you just sound stupid writing all that crap before "helping", since everyone knows WP7 doesn't have this feature.
