Hi Everyone,

I am using the java applet to take screenshot of the web browser using the java's robot class.
Robot objRobot = new Robot ();
BufferedImage objBufferedImage = objRobot.createScreenCapture(objRectArea);

The thing work good in windows system taking screenshot but in case of mac osx i get the blank image.When i check the

event viewer in mac osx i get the following error.

invalid context
invalid pixel format
CoreAnimation: rendering error 506

The problem is coming for all the browser safari,firefox and chrome.My applet is signed applet.


What might be the reason.An early reply is very valuable.

My machine configuration is as follows.

OS : MAC OSX
Version : 10.6.4

Thanks sagar.

Why are you using that to take screenshot. Do you want to take screenshot of the web page or other things. If you just want to take picture of the web page you could use another method. I am not sure what you are doing? Can you explain to me first? Thanks

Sorry i never learn about Java, in fact my knowledge about Programming are limited, the only thing i know is HTml and css and hardware problems. Maybe you should post this in the Java forum

Here is the forum

The Grab Program, located in the Utilities menu, does screen shots and places them into a file that is saved on to the desktop.

You can always use command + shift + 3. Hold command, shift and 3 at the same time you can take a screenshot of the whole page you are viewing. If you use 4 instead of 3, you can select the area you want to screenshot. Grab is good but too troublesome.
