Can I access this feature within calgo api.

I would like to automate the process of taking a screenshot based on logic.

If it can't be done with the calgo api, What function in c# or dll to use. Please include sample code, thank you

First Detach your Symbol Chart from cTrader window and then use the code below to capture your Window Symbol Chart
