Emulation of input devices and grabbing the screen

Post by durman »

Hello.

Is this is possible to grab a screen of guest VM on host OS by some API provided by Virtual box? And also is any API to direct send events of mouse movement, clicks and keyboard input to virtual machine?

Sorry for bad english. Thanks.

You could try "VBoxManage controlvm screenshotpng". See the user manual, section 8.12.
