Robot keyPress issue

840147Feb 16 2011 — edited Feb 18 2011
Hello all,

I'm trying to send keystrokes (like a Virtual keyboard) from my Java code but I encounter some issues .. it works perfectly on normal applications (for example .. Notepad, browsers etc) but not on games (fullscreen or windowed mode).

This is the stripped code I'm using :
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.AWTException;
import java.awt.event.InputEvent;

Robot robot;

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_A);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_A);
Can you please help?

Thank you

Sorin
