Take screenshot of MapGraphicsView (in C++)

MaximilianSchönenberg

Hello,

I want to take a screenshot of the MapGraphicsView and export it to png, jpg..

I tried this, but it returns just a grey picture:

//EsriRuntimeQt::MapGraphicsView* m_MapGraphicsView;
auto pixmap = QPixmap::grabWidget(m_MapGraphicsView);
QFile file(fileUrl.toLocalFile());
file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
pixmap.save(&file, "PNG");

Is there another way of taking a screenshot?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Maximilian

Thank you for your answer Koushik, but it's the same result as before (see attachment).

This is what finally works for me (thanks to Norbert Thoden​):

//QVBoxLayout* m_VBox
QRect rect(m_VBox->itemAt(1)->geometry());
QMutex m(QMutex::NonRecursive);
m.lock();
m.tryLock(100);
auto pixmap = QGuiApplication::primaryScreen()->grabWindow(winId(),rect.x(), rect.y(), rect.width(), rect.height());
QFile file(fileUrl.toLocalFile());
file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
pixmap.save(&file, "PNG");

Best regards,
