Image CAPTURE from WINDOW - < win_captureimage >() ... [Pro]

 

Window Image CAPTURE from WINDOW
<win_captureimage>("Window",Match,x,y,Width,Height,"Image file")
Available in: Professional edition

This command captures an image in defined window.

Important:

It is application specific how the window content is drawn within its window and in some cases what is visible on the computer screen as a one image is actually composed by multiple pieces. For this reason, use <display_captureimage> command if this command is not working with a particular application.
