/** Example of using the Robot to type in a text field,

use the enter key, and activate a button via the space bar. */

class ActivateButtonUsingRobot {

static Robot robot;

static void activateKey(int keycode) {

robot.keyPress( keycode );

robot.keyRelease( keycode );

robot.delay( 150 );

}

public static void main(String[] args)

throws AWTException {

// if headless, exit early

robot = new Robot();

final JFrame f = new JFrame();

f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );

JTextArea ta = new JTextArea("1st line!",10,20);

f.getContentPane().add(ta, BorderLayout.CENTER);

JButton button = new JButton("Press Me!");

button.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {

public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent ae ) {

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(

f, "Button Activated!" );

}

} );

f.getContentPane().add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

f.pack();

// put frame in center of screen

f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

f.setVisible(true);

Dimension screensize =

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

// move mouse to center of screen, and ..

robot.mouseMove(

screensize.width/2, screensize.height/2 );

// ..activate the frame

robot.mousePress( InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK );

robot.mouseRelease( InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK );

robot.delay( 400 );

// try using enter key..

activateKey( KeyEvent.VK_ENTER );

activateKey( KeyEvent.VK_ENTER );

// this text should have a blank line above it..

activateKey( KeyEvent.VK_H );

activateKey( KeyEvent.VK_I );

// move to the button

robot.keyPress( KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL );

robot.keyPress( KeyEvent.VK_TAB );

robot.keyRelease( KeyEvent.VK_TAB );

robot.keyRelease( KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL );

robot.delay( 500 );

// try activating the button..

activateKey( KeyEvent.VK_SPACE );
