Thanks for your reply. I don't find this in the documentation. Could you give me the link please

 

@amando where in the docs does it say this is not supported in tester? https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/chart_operations/chartscreenshot

Did you ever get a resolution to this  Gad Benisty? I have wasted hours trying to get this working before finding this post. If this does not work in MQL5 is there a way we can submit a Bug or Enhancement request? I'd love to be able to take a screenshot while in MT5 tester and then create a directory structure in `TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_COMMONDATA_PATH);` to store them in.

still an issue. a workaround is to call through a webservice a script to take a screenshot but i agree is a bit overkill
