Hi,
I want to create a screen capture using java.
I'm new to java and I'm overwhelmed by the so many terms: SE, EE, FX, Swing...
I saw a nice product written in java that let you start the Java program from the website (java web start) and then it sits in your system tray. When you right click on it you see several capture options: full screen, area, window...
After you capture it opens a window with your screen capture and you can manipulate it or save it...
I know that Java is moving fast so I'll appreciate if you can show me the way to the most relevant tools to make it.
What is the first thing I need to learn and what IDE do you recommend?
Thanks

Hi dolittle!
OK, let's start with the easy things. One very popular (and free!) IDE for Java development is eclipse. You should also install the newest JDK (JDK 6 Update 6), if that hasn't already happened.
Next, you should check out this short summary of useful documents - you should certainly get the tutorial and APIs.
Go through the tutorial, solve the tasks and if you are in any doubt, ask. There are also some good (and partially free) books about Java out there, just ask.
To answer your other question, the one about making screen shots with Java - often a simple google search gives you a lot of information.
Greetings,
Nepomuk
Thank you for your answer.
I've read about javaFx script. Should I use it because this is the new technology or is it different then what I'm looking for?
How can I let users install the screen capture program from a web page?
I could be a temporary installation.
I've read about Java web start. Is this the way to go?
Will JavaFx address this issue in a different way then Java web start?
Thanks

Hey, not so fast!
First of all, learn the basics. Then write a program, that can make screenshots localy. You will see, that you'll need AWT (or maybe Swing?). It will take some time, until you can handle both basic Java and Java with graphical libraries.
Then you can ask about JavaFX script and Java WebStart - which by the way are two totally different things - and decide, which one you could imagine using. I suspect, Java WebStart would be the choice, but I haven't heard much about JavaFX script yet, so I might be mistaken.

Nepomuk

i,
I have trying to code a small console app that will
allow a user to select a window and then create a
screen capture of the window. I haven't been able to
figure out how to do the screen capture part. The
code is as follows, the commented out lines at the end
are things I have tried, but don't work. Whenever I
try to create a compatibe Bitmap or DC it comes back
with an error as

Greetings.
I encountered a wield problem when grabing screen images.
Sometimes in some computers I can capture the screen, but other times not
so.
In some computer I cannot capture the screen image, but when I change its
color bits, say from 32bits to 24 or 16bits, the program can capture the
image.
Can anyone kindly examine my following code, and point out the flaw:

Hi all,
This may be a newbie question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
I want to make a capture of the screen, or a part of the screen, that
contains the main portion of the form.
Detecting the screen that contain the main portion of the form is pretty
straight forward, but how do I capture what I need in an Image object?
Another thing, how do you make the program move the mouse pointer and
simulate clicks?
Best regards

I have seen some examples of how to capture a color from a point on screen
using C#, but haven't come across anything with VB.NET. Is this possible
under VB.NET? I know that I will need to use the GetPixel API in order to
do this.
Essentially, I would like to be able to move the mouse around the screen,
and wherever the left button is clicked, I would like to store the color
value of the point where the cursor is located. If possible,...

I use this code to capture a screen in a regular VB 2005 windows app.
It works great! I found the code in google. But when I create a windows
service it does not capture the screen. It only captures a blank
graphic. Does anyone know why it will not capture the current screen?
Is something not available when running as a service? Thanks!!!
