CitrixGetScreen Function

Action

Takes a screenshot of the selected region and writes the screenshot to a file in the result directory. The file name can be provided by the first parameter. If the file name is omitted, it will be automatically generated by the user ID and hash value of the image. Use the optional sOutFile parameter to get the generated file name.

The screen region can be specified absolutely or relatively to a window (by specifying a window handle). When only a window handle and no position or size is provided, the region specified by the window outline is used. CitrixGetScreen without any parameter takes a screenshot of the entire screen and saves it to a file that’s name is a concatenation of the calling user and the hash value of the current screen.

注: CitrixGetScreen can only be called in Normal Mode (see CitrixInit). If used in Fast Mode, an error will be raised.
