Help

Is there a way where I can save an image to a clipboard ? So that I can paste it afterward in an excel.
if I am able to save the save the screenshot as image variable. How do I use this image variable directly in excel ? (I understand I have to use alt+n then p, but is there something where i can directly use the image variable)
How do I simulate “PrtSC” action.?

Hi,

You might look at the Take screenshot activity. It let’s you output the image to a variable.
Then, possibly you could use the Save Image activity so you can import it into Excel or Word using UI Automation.

It’s not something I’ve done but hope that gives you atleast one idea.

Thanks.

I dont think that will be a case for excel.

In excel, select the cells ,ctrl+c ,then go to another excel , go to sell ctrl+v

if you want to take the selected cell as image , then select take screenshot and provide the clipping region.
