hi all,
how can i make an Image from an AWTComponent with his childs? I have tryed the class Robot but this is not the right way because the Component is bigger as the Frame.
thank you in advance

Not sure it would work, but you might try…
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(blah, blah,blah)
component.paint(image.getGraphics());
Kev
that is what i tryed
it works, but i get only the Graphics(gray background) but not the childs(Buttons…) 
bienator
Have you tried component.paintAll(g) ?
Kev
wait…
the same output
just the Graphics without childs
bienator
stupid errrrr
I used Labels, Buttons and other stuff which all extends Component. Now I use only JComponents and it works great 
thank you for the help kev
.paint
.paintAll
works great
