Java Robot can be very usefull tool emulating e.g. pressing a key on your keyboard. Sometimes this can be difficult especially for non-standard characters like ‘asterisk’. Therefore I developed following piece of code which translates given string into separated chars, converts them to ASCII and Java Robot types them using ALT+ASCII_KEY<\/p>\n
\/\/ The purpose is to translate given string to sparated characters \r\n\/\/ which are typed one by one using their corresponding ASCII value\r\n\/\/ This value is then translated to KeyCodes \r\n\/\/ VK_NUMPAD0 - VK_NUMPAD9 (96 - 105)\r\nprivate void TypeString(String data){\r\n\/\/ Example data: data = \"Hello World\"\r\n\/\/ First loop: c = 'H'\r\n for (char c : data.toCharArray()){\t\t\r\n\/\/ ASCII code for 'H': charcode_int = 72\r\n int charcode_int = (int)c;\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\/\/ charcode = \"72\"\r\n String charcode = Integer.toString(charcode_int);\r\n robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\/\/ First loop: ascii_c = '7'\r\n for (char ascii_c : charcode.toCharArray()){\r\n\/\/ ascii_n = 103 (= VK_NUMPAD7)\r\n int ascii_n = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(ascii_c)) + 96;\t\t\t\t\t\r\n robot.keyPress(ascii_n);\r\n robot.keyRelease(ascii_n);\r\n }\r\n\t\t\t\r\n robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Java Robot can be very usefull tool emulating e.g. pressing a key on your keyboard.
