If I understood correctly, the Rev guys will be re-implementing pixmapID in
a later 2.7.x version.  For now, you can do screen captures using object
references in hidden windows:

    "...snapshots can be taken of objects that are not on the current
     card or in stacks that are not open."

An interesting benefit of this is that if you reference a control, the
screenshot includes the control's alphaData.

See "import" in the new docs for detailed info.
