I am attempting to use the CGWindowListCreateImage function to capture a desktop screenshot. The following code (taken straight from the SonOfGrab sample) works on Leopard, but is failing on Snow Leopard:

CGImageRef screenShot = CGWindowListCreateImage(CGRectInfinite, kCGWindowListOptionOnScreenOnly, kCGNullWindowID, kCGWindowImageDefault);

On Leopard, the returned CGImageRef is what I expect: an image of the desktop and all on-screen windows.

On Snow Leopard, the CGImageRef is NULL and the following message is printed to the console:

        <Error>: CGImageCreate: invalid image bits/pixel or bytes/row.


I have filed a bug (7212104), but wonder if there is a workaround that I can use in the meantime, or if I should just use another method of capturing the desktop. Has anyone else encountered this issue?


Thanks,

Jason
