using java.awt.Robot
« on: Apr 17th, 2003, 5:58am »

i'd like to use the Robot class, but the AWTPermission exception is thrown when i try. does anybody know how to work around the whole permissions thing? i'm working on a java application for my own machine, so i think there should be a way to get around security restrictions.
 
the idea is to combine a range of inputs (from different devices) as a basis for controlling the mouse position, and other mouse events. Java seems to have the capabilities for this, but as i said, the whole permissions thing is a problem. does java have the scope for this kind of project, or should i be working in another language?
 
thanks,
 
-jacob

This works on my machine (win2k)... setting the mouse position to 100x100 :
 
**********************
 
void setup(){
size(200,200);
 
}
 
void loop(){
    try {
         // Move the cursor
          Robot robot = new Robot();
          robot.mouseMove(100, 100);
    } catch (AWTException e) {
    }
}
****************
