Not sure if it makes a difference but it is for a Desktop application and not a web.
I managed to make it work (not perfectly) using Desktop.Picture and using the control bounds.
Here is the script i use:function takeScreenshotAndSave(control, folderPath, fileName) { try { // Validate the input parameters to ensure they are not undefined or null if (!control || !folderPath || !fileName) { throw new Error("Control or file path or file path is undefined."); } // Take a screenshot of the control. The Picture() method captures the control's current visual state. var picture = Sys.Desktop.Picture(control.Left,control.Top,control.Width,control.Height,false); //control.Picture(control.Left,control.Top,control.Width,control.Height,false); var fullPath =folderPath + "\\" + fileName; IOOperations.CreateFolderIfDoesntExist(folderPath); // Save the captured image to the specified file path. // The SaveToFile method takes the full path, including the file name and extension, as its argument. if (picture.SaveToFile(fullPath)){ // Log a message indicating the screenshot was saved successfully. // This is useful for debugging and confirmation purposes. Log.Message("Screenshot saved successfully to: " + fullPath); } else Log.Error("Could not create the picture " + fullPath); } catch (e) { // Handle any errors that occur during the screenshot capture or file saving process. // This block logs the error message, which aids in troubleshooting. Log.Error("An error occurred while taking a screenshot: " + e.message); // If needed, rethrow the exception to handle it further up the call stack. // Uncomment the line below to rethrow the error. // throw e; } }
However if i use the commented line #10 instead of 9, the dropdown is closed.
It would be nice if there was an option to prevent that.
