instead of the System.Windows.Forms Clipboard
we can work with the
System.Windows.Clipboard Class

e.g. with the methods:

Whenever it is not working by the first try ensure, that also an image within the clipboard

and also the debugging panels for inspections and rnd

Hi Symos,

Assuming that you are trying to take a screen shot and then Trying to save the image already in clipboard as a png file.

Step 1 : Use Invoke method activity (To Take a Screen Shot using ‘PrtScrn’),
Set Target Type - System.Windows.Forms.Sendkeys and MethodName - SendWait

Parameter : Direction - In , type - String , value - “{PRTSC}”

Doing the above step will get the image/screenshot to clipboard

step 2 : Assign Activity,

Create a variable of type ‘System.Drawing.Image’ and and in the value field provide ‘System.windows.forms.clipboard.getimage’

Step 3 : Save Image Activity

Use the Image variable created in Step 2 as input along with the File Name (Path/Nam.extension) to save the image from clipboard.

Attached the Sequence for your reference.

Hope this helps, else let me know more about your question had I misunderstood with a more detailed use case containing steps before and after.

Happy Automating…!

In the save image activity, Extension must be of image type (png,jpeg etc.,)
I have made a typo there, Please consider that as png in sample flow I had attached.
