How to send keys by..

You still haven't defined the requirements. Why do you do this? When do you do this?

a) When the text area is full

b) when the use clicks a button

c) for every character that is typed

Ask a clear question with clear requirements and you might get an answer...tomorrow... because I'm signing off soon.

Well the Robots class is what you want then. Use a timer to trigger the Robot keyPress() and keyRelease() methods:

eg:

Robot bot = new Robot(); //throws an exception, so you need a try block

...in timer event handling code...

for (char c : stringOfCharsToType) {

int keyCode = convertCharToKeyCode(c);

bot.keyPress(keyCode);

bot.keyRelease(keyCode);

}

The hardest bit is then to convert the characters to virtual key codes (eg: KeyEvent.VK_A etc).

Hope that helps.
