How to save image of entire front panel to folder?

[ShogunOrta]

So I've attached my VI, and upon error checking it seems to work fine up until the Write JPEG to File code is implemented. It gives ERR 1 there. I feel like I've almost got it figured out, but no dice yet.

Just upload whatever personal VI you have to test my code.

I get the same error when trying to write the file to a folder where I need elevated privileges (e.g. "C:\test.jpg"). However writing to desktop, documents or other folder where elevated privileges are not needed, it works fine.

Curious.  This worked for me (basically your code, cleaned up a little) ...  Hmm, can't save image (which worked a few days ago, now it insists on showing only part of the image), so I'll attach the code as a LabVIEW Snippet, as well as the output JPEG (which shows the Front Panel).

I got no error either when saving to Desktop. I deleted the file path because it was asking an existing .JPG file (this can be configured by right clicking that control, then Properties and changing what it should show/expect)

Thanks guys! I got it to work, but only when the JPEG was being saved to a folder on my desktop. It probably has something to do with Administrator permissions (although I'm running this on a administrator account). But at least this is a good start. Thanks everyone.
