My trusty old PaintShop can, of course, paste an image from the clipboard and save it to a file. Oh well, it could do that, but for the last ten years (https://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1447751) or so, all you see when pressing Ctrl V is this ugly little box:

Fortunately, if you only need a screenshot, you can use PaintShop's "capture" function.
Unfortunately, that function doesn't like, for reasons I don't understand, tooltips :sad:
Since I needed the tooltips for the WinAPI bubble help (http://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=9875.msg110111#msg110111) post, I decided to help myself and roll my own from-clipboard-to-file proggie:
GuiParas equ "Right-click into the image", w1000, h562
include \masm32\MasmBasic\Res\MbGui.asm
GuiControl MyCanvas, "canvas"
ArraySet MyRect() As DWORD=1, 2, 3, 4 ; dummy values
Event CanvasPaint
ArrayPlot MyRect()
GuiImage clipboard, fit ; right-click into the image brings up a popup menu
ArrayPlot exit
GuiEnd
Source & exe attached. To test it, activate any window and press Alt PrintScreen, then launch the exe and right-click into the image.
New version attached, with some improvements. As with the previous one, make sure you have an image on the clipboard, then right-click into the window.
Note the easiest way to get a screenshot from a window is Alt PrtScr
Here is an example, a screenshot of this tool's source:
