In the Take Screenshot activity are you indicating elements on the screen?

If so try disabling the code for that and just add a Take Screenshot activity.

Yes. I have used only take screenshot without indicating the element.

Hi @Saikat_Chowdhury try it to select from bottom/down up to where you want it to be. Click and hold the left button as you drag to select a region. Hope it works.

Its not allowing to select the taskbar in region

@Saikat_Chowdhury

Is the “Auto-hide the taskbar” option selected? (In the taskbar - Right click - Properties - Auto-hide the taskbar). If so unselect it and try again.

Its not in auto hide

Hi Everyone,

I have the same Question. I want to include the TASKBAR, to be precise the Date and Time region of the TASKBAR in my screenshot.

I can take the full screen’s screenshot of an application without the Taskbar using UiPath StudioX. Can anyone tell me how I can include the TASKBAR in my screenshot as well?

Hi @araf_mustavi,

You can take screenshots through Select Region method.
I have tried that method, and was able to get the desired result.

Hope this solves your issue.

Thanks

Hello, can you show me how you took this screenshot ?

I need do the same… take a screenshot of a webpage in Google Chrome including the taskbar

This way i cannot get the taskbar:

@nelson.lcordeiro Just in case you still need this.

What I did to capture the entire screen is to:

  • First use app/browser activity (i.e. chrome)
  • Then use app/browser activity again and indicated target as the taskbar.
  • Then add the screenshot activity.
  • Indicated the target. (anywhere on the taskbar, for now) No anchor.
  • Then I edit the target, unclicked everything except fuzzy selector, then clicked settings.
  • I then used UI explorer, and on the indicate target, I chose the entire screen, validated it and then the entire screen was captured.

The fuzzy selector should show:

Hope it works for those who need it for StudioX.

Hi,

i use the Activitie ‘Get Active Window’ and ‘Take Screenshot’ (Classic Design) with follow Properties

  • Target > Clipping Region: (1, 1, 1920, 1080) – This is the default Screenresulution of the Roboter Runtime
  • Target > Selector: "<wnd app='*' cls='*' title='*' />"
