[dba-Tech] Question about Microsoft Snipping tool

Arthur,
The problem is the mouse click required to choose area of interest once you
start the MS Snipping Tool. 
The solution is to:
-click cancel on the snipping tool
-open the dropdown (or other dynamic feature) that you wish to capture
-press the Ctrl + PrtScr key combination
-choose the area you wish to capture
-finish your task in Snipping Tool as usual

HTH

Subject: [dba-Tech] Question about Microsoft Snipping tool

Is there any way to tell this tool to delay its capture for a few seconds,
so I can return to the screen of interest, drop down one of its menu items
and then wait for the capture? I need this ability for my current writing
project. So far, whenever I open a menu or a combo box then switch to the
Snipping Tool, the screen of interest returns to its state prior to my
opening a menu or combo box.

If Snipping Tool can't do this, do you have a suggestion for a tool that
can?
