Taking Screenshot in Universal Web Adaptor
Hi,
I am trying to capture screenshot of a form (This is a form control created during interrogation) opened in chrome. I am using GetScreenshot method to do so, but the screenshot doesnot capture the entire form. I am only able to get a part of it, is there any way to get complete screenshot. Also, if I try to use getscreenshot method on the webpage, I am not able to save the screenshot. To do so, I am taking a image proxy and I am trying to save it. Please find the exception message I am getting - GetWorkingInstance() could not get instance from TypeProxy. InstanceName: P_Homewhere P_Home is the name of proxy. The same automation works fine if I replace the getscreenshot method of the webpage with a different control (Form, Div..).
Any suggestiong regarding this are highly appreciated. Thank you.

@LaxmiVenkataMownKI don't believe you can actually use the GetScreenshot method on the page itself. The method takes a screenshot of the window that the control is in, so you can use any control on the page. It is a capturing the window hosting the control however, and can only capture what is visible. When you mention that you cannot see all of your form, is that because it requires scrolling to see the rest of the form?

@ThomasSasnett Thank you for the response.
No, It is not required to scroll to see the form. However, I am only able to capture a part of it.

@LaxmiVenkataMownK I would suggest that you open an support request. In my testing, the method takes a screenshot of the full application, so there must be something happening within your environment. If you do open a support request, please let us know the INC number.
