programatically capturing screenshot for specific chart/tab

[music_p13]

Hello,

Is there any custom developed code I could use to programmatically capture screenshot from specific chart/tab window so that I could then email it or use with any specific service (I don't like configuring alerts manually every time and would like this to be coded into strategy directly)?

Thanks

Hello music_p13,

Thank you for a note.

Yes, you would be able to have a screen shot taken and shared via email or share service using the following method detailed in our helpguide, Share(),

You would first need to set up share services under options on the control center,

Hello Alan,

I did look at this article prior to posting, however, the question is how to actually capture screenshot from active chart and save it to local drive, so that I could later on email this image as an attachment?

It should be some custom code like activating that specific chart control (using some UI automation beginning with "Window.Get...."

And then capturing screenshot of that active control... Full control or custom area (chart only for example)...

Is there any unsupported code to accomplish it that is available?

Thanks

I was able to get the answer to my question from the following thread:

Next step is to try it out.

Thanks

Can we take screenshot of multiple tabs and then email or only the select window screenshot is taken and email sent ???

Hello bhushan7447,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums.

If you are coding with a strategy, the strategy would only be able to share a screenshot of the chart the strategy is applied to.

If you are using an alert to share a screenshot, it would only provide the chart the alert is configured on.
