Selector of the UI object

By clicking window you will disclose the selector of the scraped window. You can edit the scraped window selector or highlight the window you captured.

Method used to scrape the window

In our example, FullText is the method used to scrape the window. There are three screen scraping methods:

  1. FullText
  2. Native
  3. OCR


Edit UI object selector

Selectors are used to uniquely associate the elements on the screen with the UIElement representation of them. We recommend to start from an automatically generated window selector if you want to create a customized one. By clicking Edit Selector button UiExplorer window will open.

Get UI control value or ignore hidden controls

ScreenScraper Studio can extract the visible value/text from the UI elements that you selected. There are other hidden controls like drop-down menus that Studio can scrape although they're not visible on the screen. By clicking Ignore hidden controls it won't scrape them anymore, but only the visible part of the selected UI element.

Generate code or JavaScript

Studio generates C#,C++,VB.NET, VB6 or JavaScript to automate screen scraping.
