hi....i have added keyboard events....with robot class' object to write the key values on the notepad.....but as i press "a" it will interpret it as "1" and as so on...for all the keys...
when i m displaying the asci values for all the keys it will print accurate values like a-97,b-98 and so on....
why this happened please give some solution....
The Robot.keyPress method takes in an int key code -- not an actual character code.
From the documentation regarding keycode:
keycode - Key to press (e.g. KeyEvent.VK_A)
Therefore, entering the following will not work:
Robot r = new Robot();
r.keyPress('a'); // Won't work -- it will press an "1"
To work correctly, one would have to use the constants from KeyEvent:
Robot r = new Robot();
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_A); // This works -- it will press an "a"
Also, if one wants to use the KeyEvents returned from a KeyListener's events such as keyPressed and keyReleased, the KeyEvent object has a getKeyCode method which will return the keycode of the event.
