Configure the Xserver to have a virtual display size which is larger than physical size. 2. Direct the specific window to a non-visible area (but within the virtual display size, so it will be refreshed) [hopefully, should be tested] 3. Grab it. If it works, you'll still have to find a way so the end user won't pan the physical display across the virtual space -- maybe this can be done with some window-manager configuration/key-bindings. -- Oron Peled Voice: +972-4-8228492 o...@actcom.co.il http://users.actcom.co.il/~oron "If it's not source, it's not software." -- www.gnu.org ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

If so, this is precisely the same problem that Valery is seeking an answer to. I know that there are such apps in Windows (and I'm not sure how those work either, I think using some kind of DirectPaint trickery).

Application should run on the usual display and be visible. But when certain button is pressed mentioned before window's content should be captured.

XWindows - how capture window ?
Hi all. I faced following problem: I have X-Windows application. It has a lot of different functions and buttons. When one of those buttons is pressed applications open a window This window has a lot of different widgets inside (labels, pixmaps, buttons, etc) I need to capture this windows and save it content to the file. It's not that hard - xgrabsc program do all the work. But what is hard (at least hard for me :) is to capture content of this window, without it appearing on the screen. I have source of this application, and can change it as I like. The trouble is unless windows actually appears on the screen, xserver don't bother to draw it. My screen is 640x480 I tried to create window with offset 641 and 481 - i.e off screen. It doesn't work. I.e window created and grabbed by xgrabsc, but it's content is garbage. When offse is 400and 400 then part of the window appears on the screen and part not. After grabbing this window I saw, that part that appears on screen looks OK, but other part is garbage. I also tried to use XComoposite extension - without any success. Application is very, very ancient. It was written withusing Xlib functions and Xt toolkit - hardly more. Also application uses XSHM extension, i.e solution don't have be "network-aware" - anyway this application doomed to work only locally by this extension. I by no mean X expert, may be I missed something obvious with XComposite or just missed something Do you have any ideas, how can I render this window off screen and capture it's content ?

I looks like I should probably terminate my contract with them as soon as I can and then either make a new one or go to a different company. This would be in order to get the consumer protection that started in 2009. Actually, there is no question: they have lost me as a customer. My next contract will be with either Mirs, Pelephone or Cellcom. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com Please CC me if you want to be sure that I read your message.

It was sent for repair 12 times, and each time it came back with the same issue. After the 12th time I sent it (29-12-2009) I told them to just keep the damn thing, and bought another phone. Last week (the phone was in Orange's possession for six weeks) I told them to send the phone to me so that I could sell it. They say that the phone was destroyed (Nigras) after one month in Orange's possession, as per policy. There is nothing to do (Ain ma laasot) is the only answer that they are giving me.

But from having a quick look around now it seems there are pre-prepared packages for various distributions to set this up in a more convenient way.
