How can I save and restore a Screen ?

Hi all,
I'd like to know how could I save an entire screen or part of it and restore it later.
I have an application using full-screen mode and I draw every component that I need. So, there are times when I draw a component just to show a message and after I need the screen as it was before I draw the message.
I'm not working with Swing components. It's not a "typical" application, because every component that is showed I really draw it. So I don't have events and repaint is controlled by my application.
That's why I need to save the Screen before show a dialog box, for example, and then restore the screen, making the box disappear.
thanks !

It's a very long, long history. Believe me.
In theory, I really could use normal components, but in practice, I will get a better final result, even if it will cost some extra work.
I've been reading about BufferedImage, VolatileImage and so on, but I didn't concatenated the ideas yet, or didn't read so much as necessary.
So... my question is still in the air ! :-))
Thank you Rich.

  • How Do I save and restore keywords, categories and tags in PE6?

    I have my photos backed up on an external hard drive, but if and when my hard drive crashes, how do I get back the tags, keywords, categories, etc. that I have used in the PE 6 Organizer?  Can I save them and, if so, when I need to restore this, how do I do that?  How do I reconnect tags, categories, keywords, etc. with photos that I re-import after a hard drive crash?

    John: Many thanks for this help.  I use CS3, but my mom has PE6 and I'm trying to help her.  I'm not as familiar with PE6.
    Again, thanks,

    PSE keeps your keywords, categories, albums, stacks, version sets, captions, notes, dates, and star ratings in a file in a "catalog folder".  (Do Help > System Info to find the location of your catalog folder).  When you make a backup with the PSE File > Backup command, it copies all your photos and the catalog file into the backup.   When you restore from that backup, it copies that catalog file and all your photos to the location you specify.

  • How can i Flash and restore the firmware ( EFI ) from a Macbook pro ( late 2008 , 5.1 ) ??

    How can i Flash and restore the firmware ( EFI ) from a Macbook pro ( late 2008 , 5.1 ) ??
    Please help me !!

    The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
    The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes.

  • Stuck on grey Apple screen, how can I erase and restore back to original?

    I've been trying to restore my imac G4 flat panel back to its factory settings, as I have recently backed up my necessary files on an external hard drive. It came with Panther and I upgraded to Tiger, but now I don't have any of the disks. I don't care if it restores back to Panther, I just want to erase and restore it. I tried to download and mount the restore disc and do it from there, but now its stuck on the grey apple screen. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Jared, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I tried to download and mount the restore disc and do it from there, but now its stuck on the grey apple screen.
    Can you explain what that is, I've never heard of it being downloadable!>

  • How to Create, Save and Restore a Custom Catalog in PE 6?

    I am having great difficulty in trying to create a custom catalog using the organizer function of PE 6. Upon opening the organizer I have many photos already depicted in it. So, I highlight them all and delete them obtaining a blank screen with no photos. I then import the file containing only the custom photos I want to catalog. I then backup this catalog using the following procedure http://www.backuphowto.info/how-to-backup-adobe-photoshop-elements-6-catalogue Everything looks fine until I try to restore it at a future time. It doesn't restore! In fact I can browse to the saved file but am unable to get the locate backup file location to change to it??
    What am I doing wrong and can anyone help me acheive my objective of creating a custom catalog that I can save and retrieve intact for later use?
    Thanks, in advance, for any help provided. Oh, and I need to add I am relatively new to PE 6 having only previously used PE 4 and never used the organizer in it which is to say -  lead me very simply please.

    I can't imagine the purpose of a "custom catalog". Seems to me you have done a lot of work when I am 100% sure there is an easier way to do whatever it is you are trying to accomplish. Further, it seems like you are trying to create a backup of only some of your photos, and I can't imagine the purpose of that either ... I would presume you would want to make backups of your entire collection of photos.
    Just as a general rule, there usually isn't a good reason to have more than one catalog (unless you have separate categories of photos, like personal and work).
    Everything looks fine until I try to restore it at a future time. It doesn't restore!
    Can you give us a detail or two about what happens when "it doesn't restore"? Can you give us more details about what you actually did? And most importantly, can you describe what you see on the screeN? Screen captures would be even better.

  • How can i save and download word documents on my ipad without the pages app

    Need to know how to save documents on my ipad so i can share the same version of documents between my computer and my ipad on the same network. I do not have the pages app. and Most of the documents are either pdfs of word docs. so need to be able to save them on ipad and retrieve them when i am on the move. Pls help?

    You have to have an app on the iPad that is compatible with the particular file type that you want to save, edit or share. You can look at any of the word processing apps - Pages is one, Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro - but you have to have one like that in order to save and edit Word files.
    With pdf files - iBooks will work to save them - but that's all. Other apps like GoodReader will let you annotate them.
    You have to decide which app will serve your needs best and them download them in order to save, edit and share those file types.

  • How can I save and reload existing BIOS on a T61?

    Have a T61 with a back level BIOS version. Plan to upgrade HD from 250GB to 500GB. If I have to upgrade BIOS want to save existing BIOS in case any problems with new BIOS.  Lenovo site does not have existing level available for download.
    Downloaded 2 different versions of WINPHLASH and tried to save BIOS,  Got message that existing BIOS location is wrong.  Don't understand this as I have saved and loaded BIOS many times on other motherboards.  Neither version of this utility came with any instructions. 
    Am I using the right utility?  If not what should I download to save my BIOS?  There is reference to 2 different forms of BIOS in this Thinkpad when I use the Thinkvantage utility to check BIOS levels.  What are the 2 different forms and how do you back up and restore both of them?

    this is the newer version http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67988 the older versions are at the bottom of this page versions 2.24 to 2.26 the new version is 2.27 -108

  • I'm not good with computers or software.  I'm trying to save a RAW Ai file I created.  When I currently save it, the color or characters/size fonts are not coming up in the saved version. How can I save, and have all of my information

    Not going with computers.  Trying to figure out how to save Ai RAW file with colors/fonts etc.  Currently saves, but does not have colors and font information.

    When you say "Colors/Fonts" are not saved, I'm not sure what you mean. How have you determined they were not saved?
    Also, not sure what a "RAW" AI file is. I assume you mean simply a native format .ai file.
    .ai will save all font and color information. It does not "embed" fonts, but it saves what fonts were used and will call the correct fonts when reopened (assuming fonts are available on the system).
    CC 2014 also has a "Package" feature that will collect assets (fonts and images) into a central folder for easy distribution.

  • How Can I save and upload a Muse website as .htm files?

    I have recently updated my website www.silverdogmusic.co.uk with Adobe Muse. The problem I have is that all my lovely SEO that I have built up over the last five years is pointing at .htm and there is no way to save a .htm file extention with Muse, only an option to save as .html, so I am currently paying a coder to change this for me every time I upload a new page or link, which not only defies the object of using Muse in the first place but is also costly and time consuming. Dreamweaver has the option of saving as either, so why not Muse? An easy solution would help me so much!!

    Easiest way  is to use '301 Redirects' ... lots of info on how to do that in Google.
