pressing keys!

Posted: Jul 4, 2002 11:05 AM

i took a java course but i wasnt taught a whole lot.
so i need some help
im making a program in which i need the applet to press a key (on the keyboard) many times in succession
how would i be able to do so?
if this is possible how can i make the applet do it so it presses the key outside of the applet? (ie ...in other programs)
it would be preferable if it pressed both shift keys repeatedly and alternately...or the delete and page down keys
thatnks for any help

You weren't taught a lot or you didn't learn a lot? Who's responsibility is it anyway?

This is just the kind of thing that applets are not intended to do. In fact, this kind of thing can't even be done with a Java application. It is even pretty difficult to do with native Windows APIs (which I assume is the platform for which you are trying to create this potentially malicious program). If you are doing this for your own purposes, you could save yourself a lot of trouble by using a tool like WinBatch or even Visual Basic (and even Windows Script Host, to a limited extent).
