Robot createScreenCapture() method not working correctly

[tim charles]

Has anyone got an idea to why the following is capturing my entire screen rather than just what's inside the bounds of jpModel?

   

private void jmiSaveViewActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

        Robot grabber;
        try {
            grabber = new Robot();
            BufferedImage image = grabber.createScreenCapture(jpModel.getBounds());
            jlImage.setIcon(new ImageIcon(image));
            System.out.println(jpModel.getBounds());
        } catch (AWTException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(GUI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
}

Regards
Tim

I think you'll have some more success in our GUI forum. Moving there.

what was the result of

System.out.println(jpModel.getBounds());

[tim charles]

java.awt.Rectangle[x=0,y=0,width=991,height=536]

Which is far larger than the JPanel (jpModel) itself. I have no idea why its doing this

Neither have we
Maybe you can try running your application in a debugger and see at what stage the bounds are getting set?
