hello,

I have a problem to make a screenshot, who my shell isn't visible.
This screenshot I can only make with a sleep statemant. But this isn't a
good solution. Doesn't give a better solution? I search for a ShellEvent
who signalized that the shell is really visible. SWT.Hide doesn't do this.

I hope you understand me, because I'm german and my english isn't very
well.

Here my code:

shell.setVisible(false); // This shell doesnt show in screenshot
Image buffer = new Image();
try {
Thread.sleep(50);
} catch (InterruptedException e1) {
}
gc.copyArea (buffer,0,0); // makes screenshot
shell.setVisible(true);

Thanks
Peter
