iimTakeBrowserScreenshot()
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Takes a screenshot of the current browser content or the current website.
Syntax
int ret_code = iimTakeBrowserScreenshot ( String FILEPATH, int 0/1 )
Parameters
- String FILEPATH
- Defines where to save the screenshot. e.g. "c:\myscreenshots\testpage.png"
- Output always is in PNG format
- Int 0 or 1
- "0": take screenshot of browser (including browser GUI itself and browser error messages)
- "1": take screenshot of complete webpage (webpage only, no browser GUI); required for tray/silent mode
iMacros for Internet Explorer support both modes, Firefox supports both modes except in v. 9.0.3, where neither one works (working on the fix), iMacros for Chrome supports mode 1 only.
Return Codes
- -1 Error (e.g. no browser)
- -2: Wrong path
- -3: System locked, no desktop ("Black screenshots"). This can happen in mode 0 only. If you need to run iimTakeBrowserScreenshot on a server, use either mode = 1 or use a "trick" to keep the desktop active.
Examples
i = iim1.iimPlay("salesforce test1") 'Take screenshot of error If i < 0 then iscr = iim1.iimTakeBrowserScreenshot ("./screenshot salesforce error " & Hour(Now)&Minute(Now)&Second(Now) & ".png") if iscr < 0 then MsgBox "Could not take browser screenshot" end if
Notes
- You must specify a value of 1 for the second parameter when running in tray or silent mode.
