take a screen shot and store it
Hi, I want to take a screenshot of a particular screen on on my system and store it as a jpeg. Is it possible to do this? If so how do I specify where to save the screen shot on my pc? Also is it possible to specify what program I want the jpeg (just this specific jpeg, not all jpegs on the system) to open with? in this case mozilla firebird. Thanks

Thanks for that CEHZ, this is the code im using:
// capture the whole screen
BufferedImage screencapture = new Robot().createScreenCaptur
new Rectangle(10, 10, 900, 750));
// Save as JPEG
File file = new File("screencapture.jpg");
ImageIO.write(screencaptur
For a points increase:
The screen I want to capture has a scroll, is it possible to include the unscrolled part of the screen in the capture as well?

AFAIK - no. Only what's visible. btw what kind of desktop scrolls?

Its an open file, do you know of any work around?
Apologies, not double accounts with one user, theres two of us using the same system....
Ive just had an idea, can the resolution of the screen be changed using java so the whole file will be within the window?

Yes, but not without JNI or a Runtime.exec call

Runtime.getRuntime.exec()
to open the java file in some specific program
