I use Screen:Capture the area, and save it as source.png. So i can use it in If - ImageRecognition action.

 

I also have that OK button as a png file. If that png file is in source.png, then i will click OK button.

 

But botrunner captures different area

 

Here is what on botcreator screen:

    Please verify that both machines are having the same screen resolutions. Or you can set the window sizes before the screen: capture action

    Can you please try the runner machine to trigger the task and keep an on eye that part?

    Whether windows are opening full-size ..etc or Still capturing the same positions

    Hi @Tamil Arasu​ 

    I checked from controlroom- manage- devices

    Botcreator and botrunner has same screen resolulion, both are 1920*1080

    Why does it still capture different area?

    I put screen:capture desktop just before the capture:area action

    and the desktop is same as it is on botcreator

    its fullsize, no problem

    but still there is different area captured in capture:area action
