Checkbox in TableCells - Screenshots of Button fails [message #330237]

Hi,

I use screenshots of buttons as described in

http://tom-eclipse-dev.blogspot.com/2007/01/tableviewers-and -nativelooking.html

to get a table full of simulated Checkbox-Widgets.

Everything is working fine except when the screenshot is taken at a
point where the appplication has no active shell (e.g. bringing another
application in front during startup). Then the image is taken from the
active shell.

OS: Windows XP

Not sure wheter this is SWT related. Any hints ?

Thanks,
Sebastian

I've experienced exactly the same problem.

Maybe you should force the shell be get in to the foreground by creating
the shell with SWT.ON_TOP? This looks like an SWT problem maybe you
should create a snippet only holding the makeShot method and post it to
the SWT-newsgroup.

Thanks Tom,

SWT.ON_TOP helped.

SWT newsgroup is already informed. Unfortunately there hasn't been any
response.
