How can you get a picture of part of the screen?

I'm trying to get the crosshatch on my screen to draw a box and capture a screen image, but I can't remember the keys. I thought that it was something and F4 but nothing is working. Can anyone clarify this for me. Thanks

    Edited by: tjacobs01 on Aug 24, 2008 12:03 PM

    and you call getGraphics() it returns nullI learned to not use the getGraphics() method. Check out my posting here where I ask what the getGraphics() method is good for:

    Also, c.getFontMetrics(c.getFont()) will be an NPE because Font is initially null.Maybe I don't understand the question. The following works for me:
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Test
         public static void main(String args[])
              JTextField textField = new JTextField();
              System.out.println(textField.getFontMetrics(textField.getFont()));
    }Every question should have a SSCCE, so we don't have to guess.

  • How can you get firefox to work locally with the windows subst command?

    I want to test my website locally using the windows subst command to emulate the root of my website. It works perfectly with IE8 (except IE8 displays the layout different to firefox) but will not work with Firefox. All of the images, styles sheets and anything with a root path does not work. If I use a relative path (../../ for example) to the objects they works fine.
    How can I view web pages locally using a website root path?

    Now I understand why Firefox does not load local pages and and IE does. I followed the link and tried all the various solutions. The noscript version did not work (but at least I have better security now) and the \\\\\ UNC path trick did nothing. Eventually I downloaded the IEtab plugin and that worked perfectly. All I wanted to do was to check webpages locally before submitting to my website and the IEtab plugin worked perfectly.
    Thanks

  • How can you get frame by frame control of the image on a movie buttom?

    Working on IDVD 7.0.4, I'm trying to position still frames for each of my movie buttons. I read the help pdf and the slider worked an several images, but would not let me move frame by frame to select. When I found the image I wanted and selected it, as soon as I clicked away it reverted to a spot several frames later in the movie. Is there a way to move frame by frame in the still mode?

  • How can I get docs to fill more of the screen?  Where is the "full screen" icon?  FindHow said moving the mouse to the top will reveal the tools, but it doesn't.  Etc.

    Hoping for an answer to my question above.

    Hi fruhulda
    Given what the OP wrote, he is running Lion (which doesn't display the tools palette when we use the Full Screen mode.)
    In this system, there is a Full Screen icon in the right top of the window.
    As I already wrote it is made of two small arrows inclided with 45°
    The screenshot was made when working in standard mode.
    To quit the Full Screen mode just hit Escape.

    - If you backed up the iPod after taking the photos then restoring from backup will recover the photos. To restore from backup see the restoring topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore via iTunes make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says prevent iPods...".
    - Otherwise if the photos ore not on the computer or iPod they are gone uless you can get them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open.  I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported.  How can I get my pictures?

    If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
    But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
    Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while
