Apprehend is available. Apprehend is a D7-XE2 VCL non-visual component to capture images from
your computer screen.
Apprehend has been in development since 1986. Various releases of the component from Delphi 5 to Delphi 2010 have been released. The most current version 6.0 was written with Delphi 2010, but it is known to install successfully in Delphi XE and XE2.
The current version of the component was released in April 9, 2012 and was developed with Delphi 2010. Version 5 of the component was not released to the public.
Apprehend is provided with Delphi source code and a few demo projects. Apprehend may be downloaded from the downloads page. Demonstration applications are included in the Apprehend zip file.
