Working With Screen Capture in QTP

Converting PNG to JPG format

I have seen one question in Advanced QTP forum, that is the user needed to capture screenshot in JPG format instead of PNG.

QTP cannot capture snapshot(s) as JPG format, but we have an option to convert it using DOT Net Factory. I hope this code will be useful for all QTP users. So I have posted this in my blog.

Here is the code to convert from PNG to JPG

sImagePath="C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\Desktop\cap.png"'Make sure to mention your destination path for snapshot

Desktop.CaptureBitmap sImagePath'Capturing as PNG format

Call ConvertJPG(sImagePath)

Function ConvertJPG(sBmpPath)

Set oBmp=DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Drawing.Bitmap","System.Drawing",sBmpPath)

Set oDir=DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.IO.Path","mscorlib")

Set oFile=DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.IO.File","mscorlib")

oBmp(sBmpPath)

sNewFile = oDir.GetDirectoryName(sBmpPath)

sNewFile = sNewFile&"\" & oDir.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(sBmpPath)

sNewFile = sNewFile&"." &"JPG"

oBmp.Save(sNewFile)'Saving as JPG format

oBmp.Dispose()

oFile.Delete(sBmpPath)'Deleting the previous PNG file.

Set oDir=Nothing

Set oFile=Nothing

Set oBmp=Nothing

End Function
