robot class and positioning the cursor

I have an application where I have a number of panels on the screen and using an editable field wish to enter coordinates to position the Cursor to on another panel.

ie, using grid coordinates on a map. Using the robot class I am able to position the cursor on the other panel but as soon as I move the mouse the cursor jumps back to the original position on the screen where the first panel with the editable field was. It is like only a picture of the cursor was drawn at the new coordinates and the real cursor is still at the old podition. It is important to this application that if the cursor is moved it stays where it has been moved to and actually is there and not just appearing to be there. I am using jdk 1.3 on Intel Solaris 2.8. Any help on this issue would be helpful and appreciated

Maybe you can use the mouse move event to position the mouse to where you had moved the cursor to.

for example

1.the mouse is at point 100,100

2. you move the cursor from your code to point 0,0

3. the user starts to move the mouse

4. you code gets that event and repositions the cursor to the last place where it was, that is at 0,0
