Picture.SaveToFile() - Remove Cursor from Image?

[stevereissps]

Hi All,

I am trying to use picture.SaveToFile(fileName) to save a table image to a .PNG file. 

I need to have the cursor removed from the image, as this is causing the Picture diffing to fail.

My code - Python : 

CommonUnit.Delete_Files(local_image)     # delete any old image file

# move mouse out of the way

Aliases.Compass_for_SW.Main_ToolBar.Graph_Area.Composite.Level_1.Level_2.CTabFolder2.HoverMouse() 

Experiment_Table_Image.SaveToFile(local_image)      # save Experiment Table to png file

Any thoughts / Solutions?

Hi,

Something like this:

// Move mouse out of view

Sys.Desktop.MouseX = Sys.Desktop.Width;

Sys.Desktop.MouseY = Sys.Desktop.Height / 2;

// Take a picture excluding mouse pointer

var pic = Aliases.Compass_for_SW.Main_ToolBar.Graph_Area.Composite.Level_1.Level_2.CTabFolder2.Picture(0, 0, -1, -1, false);

// Save picture to file

pic.SaveToFile(...);

Does it help?

Thanks for your reply!

I found the Picture() function with the Mouse parameter just after I posted my question.  Works perfectly now!
