Screenshot api for Mylyn. [message #50641]

Hi,

This is slightly off topic.

I'm looking to capture screenshots for a tool that I'm writing. I've
looked at what mylyn does to capture screenshot and quite like it.

I'm particularly interested in what ScreenShotCreationPage is doing, but
could not quite reproduce a similar functionality:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.mylyn/o rg.eclipse.mylyn.commons.ui/src/org/eclipse/mylyn/internal/p rovisional/commons/ui/ScreenshotCreationPage.java?revision=1 .5&root=Tools_Project&view=markup&pathrev=HEAD

This is what I'm doing:

protected static boolean captureScreenshot(final String fileName){
GC gc = new GC(display);

Image image = new Image(display, display.getBounds());
gc.copyArea(image, 0, 0);
gc.dispose();
ImageLoader imageLoader = new ImageLoader();
imageLoader.data = new ImageData[] { image.getImageData() };
imageLoader.save(fileName, SWT.IMAGE_PNG);
}

The screenshot is captured, but for dual display, the image is a overlay
of one screen on top of the other. Mylyn screenshot works just fine.

Is there something wrong in what I'm doing ?

You might want to take a look at this bug that describes a similar problem
that was fixed in Mylyn:

219716: GC.copyArea() does not work for capturing full desktop image if
secondary monitor is at left or above the primary monitor

Hi Steffen,

Thanks for your response.

Is there a workaround for this issue ? I'm using eclipse 3.3 and not
3.3.x. I could not find a workaround for this, or I'm not looking at the
right place.

Sorry, I do not know if/how this works on Eclipse 3.3.

Thanks, I think I'll just use AWT to capture screenshot :(
