Name of DX VBO to capture screenshot

Tejaskumar_Darji — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 08:44:00 GMT

Hi team,

I recall we had Utility Screenshot earlier.

I'm unable to find that or any other utility to take screenshots. Please advise me on the name of DX VBO to capture the screenshots.

Hi @Tejaskumar_Darji

There is a screenshot VBO on the DX, but for some reason it's been made private. Let me check with the developer to see if I can find out why. If it's a mistake we'll get it turned back on for public view.

Cheers,

Just checking in to see if there’s any update on this. We’re still seeing new users facing challenges with the basic screenshot capture functionality. I’m curious why this hasn’t been integrated natively into one of the core VBOs yet, considering it is a super basic requirement.

Hi Tejas - I have not used it myself but did you have the chance to look at this one on DX (Screen Capture Tool)?

Also - If its easy to build a custom VBO - Windows actions (C#) - Take Screenshot action(General utility actions used for the Windows environment).

Inputs = file_path

Outputs = message

Main Code:

message = "";

try

{

//Create a bitmap with the same dimensions like the screen

Bitmap screen = new Bitmap(SystemInformation.VirtualScreen.Width,

SystemInformation.VirtualScreen.Height);

//Create graphics object from bitmap

Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(screen);

//Paint the screen on the bitmap

g.CopyFromScreen(SystemInformation.VirtualScreen.X,

SystemInformation.VirtualScreen.Y,

0, 0, screen.Size);

screen.Save(file_path);

g.Dispose();

}

catch(Exception e)

{

message = e.ToString();

}
