Robot class won't click the mouse

Expand Post »

I have this code:

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.

Re: Robot class won't click the mouse

try this instead. I had the same problem:

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
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){}
