Procedure to take screenshot

Mohd_Daud2 — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 20:03:00 GMT

Hi, I am trying to take screen shot of the screen. I am following these steps: 1) Sending global sent keys for print screen key. 2) Creating MS Word Instance. 3) Creating MS Word document. 4) Pasting screenshot from clipboard. 5) Saving document at some location. 6) Closing the instance. But in the first step itself I am not able to take screenshot. I have tried using "{PRTSC}" in navigation stage as I have found on microsoft site: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8c6yea83(v=vs.84).aspx Please suggest me the correct procedure. Also I want to know how can I save the screenshot as a pdf or png image? Thanks.

Check the Utility - Image

Check the Utility - Image Manipulation object, there is a ""Get PrintScreen"" action. There's also a ""Save Image As"" action, but I'm not sure which format it uses (although probably .png).

Hi VPeric,

Hi VPeric, In the 'Utility - Image Manipulation' object, I am not getting any ""Get PrintScreen"" action and ""Save Image As"" action is also not there. I think you have seen some other VBO or you are using any customised object (Please correct me if I am wrong).

To save images you probably

To save images you probably need set your data item to be the binary data type.

Hi, My Original question was how to take screenshot and save it in a file at a location. I think we are diverting from the point. Please let me know how to do that stepwise.

Blue Prism has a VBO named BPA - Screenshot where in you pass the file name with the location to save and the extension with which the file has to save and executing that object will create a screenshot for you.

Hi Delacoche,

I faced this issue in past, for some reason on DX exchange also I wasn't able to find the object. So here is what I did which was to create my very own object to do that.

You can create a new business object called 'Utility - Screenshots' and the provide the following 'External References' : System.Drawing.dll , System.Windows.Forms.dll along with the 'Namespace Imports' as : System.Drawing, System.ComponentModel, System.Drawing.Imaging and System.Windows.Forms keeping the 'Language' as Visual Basic under the 'Code Options' tab of your Page Description stage in the 'Initialise' action as shown below:

Add a new action called 'Take Screenshot' with two input parameters called 'Screenshot File Path' of type text and 'Screenshot File Name' of type text and map them to their respective data items as shown below:

Add a code stage called 'Take Screenshot' with the input arguments as shown below:

Now you can add the following code to take screenshots:

Dim bounds As Rectangle
Dim screenshot As System.Drawing.Bitmap
Dim graph As Graphics

bounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds
screenshot = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb)
graph = Graphics.FromImage(screenshot)
graph.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, bounds.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy)
screenshot.Save(Screenshot_File_Path+"\"+Screenshot_File_Name)

screenshot.Dispose

Once this has been completed, you can publish the action and save the business object. Test the same from process studio providing the input arguments for the screenshot folder path and the screenshot file name.

Hi DilipKumar S,

Q) is there any way to attach particular application and take only screenshot of it instead of full desktop screenshot and save it in some path ?
Its definatley possible,
1) Calculate the dimensions from browser, when it is in maximize state
2) Pass the dimensions while taking the screenshot.
