java.awt.Robot and VK_ALT_GRAPH: Invalid key code

843806Aug 18 2009 — edited Aug 19 2009

Hi,

I'm working on a virtual keyboard based on java.awt.Robot. I need to press AltGr key. But when I call this code:

robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT_GRAPH);

I allways get this exception:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid key code
	at sun.awt.windows.WRobotPeer.keyPress(Native Method)
	at java.awt.Robot.keyPress(Robot.java:243)

Any solution?
