take a screenshot for application runing on windows using QtScreen or anything

AmrCoder

I want to take a screenshot for example to google chrome without being the current windows it may be minimized in the taskbar what I use to make a screenshot is this code

    QScreen *screen = QGuiApplication::primaryScreen();
    QPixmap pix = screen->grabWindow(0);
    ui->label->setPixmap(pix);

this gets a screenshot for the current shown window I want to take a screen shot for the google chrome app running in the task manager on windows without being shown maybe it's minimized.
what I want to finally done is to take a screenshot for the google chrome and cute some text from this image to get the current profile name that is it because I can't find anything to get this using google chrome API or something so if anyone has the solution for any of these question i appreciate this very much.
this an image of what i want to get from google chrome
alt text
and my solution is to use some OCR and take a screenshot for the chrome even if it's minimized so any help please with any solution the main thing is to get google profile name in any way.
Thanks in advance

Hi
Im not sure Qt can directly do that. (capture minimized window)
I think u need to use API.

Also, what profile do you mean ?
There is
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/identity
But not sure it covers what u want.

Not helpful, just wanted to link the feature request for this to be added to the API: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=504815
