Hi Paul,
I believe the problem you encountered is similar to mine,
i.e. you may not call getImage() displayImpl.java directly
via AWT-Event Queue.
You may overcome this problem using the InvokeLater() method
of Java's SwingUtilities.
I avoided the same problem via implementing a method in my display
manager directly through a direct thread. Someting like this:
class DisplayManager {
....
DisplayImpl display;
BufferredImage bimg;
....
....
public void invokeGetImage()
{
// ************************************
// * Make a thread to do the job *
// ************************************
Runnable captureImage = new Runnable() {
public void run() {bimg=display.getImage();}
};
Thread t=new Thread(captureImage);
t.start();
... wait for a while for thread to finish!...
if(bimg!=null) { // you have image
.... // do whatever you want
}
}
....
}
I hope the above would help.
Cheers
