Robot class won't click the mouse

Aug 29th, 2008

I have this code:

 Help with Code Tags 
 Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
try
        {
            robot = new Robot();
            robot.mouseMove(0,900);
            robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
            robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
        }catch(Exception e){}
try
        {
            robot = new Robot();
            robot.mouseMove(0,900);
            robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
            robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
        }catch(Exception e){}

And I want it to click the "Start" button on Windows computers. The mouse moves to the correct location, but does not click. Advice?

it appears that Robot only works on swing buttons, and applications

This is not true. Although this is what it was primarily intended.

try this instead. I had the same problem:

try
        {
            robot = new Robot();
            robot.mouseMove(0,900);
            robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
            robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
        }catch(Exception e){}
try
        {
            robot = new Robot();
            robot.mouseMove(0,900);
            robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
            robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
        }catch(Exception e){}
