UFT 14.5 - Screen shot capturing is not taking completely for IE, excluding tabs, address bar of IE.

[Subbarao P]

Hi All,

I am automating web application and needs to check the browser compatibility. While running the script from 2 browsers (IE – 11, Chrome - 72) I see there is difference in screen shots, for IE address bar and tabs are not captured in screen shots but the same is captured in Chrome. Here I am expecting complete screen should be captured from both browsers including address bar and tabs. Please suggest if there are settings changes required for this.

Thanks,
Subbarao P

Hello.

have you checked this link with the known issue of IE? i saw that you have more problems here than in the Chrome browser: https://admhelp.microfocus.com/uft/en/14.51/UFT_Help/Content/Addins_Guide/IE_Limitations.htm

there you sould be able to see what could be the problem. maybe your application is based on a technology not suported and UFT might be behaving wrong.

Hi,

There’s no setting for this.

If you want to capture the whole screen, maybe you can try a workaround, using STD window to capture the screenshot.

Thanks

Could you please share about STD window.

You may try this.

hwnd = Browser("...").GetROProperty("hwnd")
Window("hwnd:=" & hwnd).Activate

Window("hwnd:=" & hwnd).CaptureBitmap "path_to_bitmap"

Hi Jerry2,

We use the below piece of code to capture images...

Browser(“CreationTime:=0").CaptureBitmap FileName

But no luck...

Please try the code I posted in my last reply.

The main idea is trying to get the window handel and create a Window object to call the capturebitmap of the Window object.
