publicsynchronized BufferedImage createScreenCapture (Rectangle screenRect)

Creates an image containing pixels read from the screen.

Creates an image containing pixels read from the screen. This image does
not include the mouse cursor.
Returns: The captured image
Parameters:
- screenRect - Rect to capture in screen coordinates
Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - if screenRect width and height are not greater than zero
- SecurityException - if readDisplayPixels permission is not granted
See Also: SecurityManager.checkPermission(java.security.Permission), AWTPermission,

publicsynchronized void delay (int ms)

Sleeps for the specified time.

Sleeps for the specified time.
To catch any InterruptedExceptions that occur,
Thread.sleep() may be used instead.
Parameters:
- ms - time to sleep in milliseconds
Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - if ms is not between 0 and 60,000 milliseconds inclusive
See Also: Thread.sleep(long),

publicsynchronized int getAutoDelay ()

Returns the number of milliseconds this Robot sleeps after generating an event.

publicsynchronized Color getPixelColor (int x, int y)

Returns the color of a pixel at the given screen coordinates.

publicsynchronized boolean isAutoWaitForIdle ()

Returns whether this Robot automatically invokes waitForIdle after generating an event.

Returns whether this Robot automatically invokes waitForIdle
after generating an event.
Returns: Whether waitForIdle is automatically called

publicsynchronized void keyPress (int keycode)

Presses a given key.

Presses a given key. The key should be released using the keyRelease method.

Key codes that have more than one physical key associated with them (e.g. KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT could mean either the left or right shift key) will map to the left key.
Parameters:
- keycode - Key to press (e.g. KeyEvent.VK_A)
Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - if keycode is not a valid key
See Also: Robot.keyRelease(int), KeyEvent,

publicsynchronized void keyRelease (int keycode)

Releases a given key.

publicsynchronized void mouseMove (int x, int y)

Moves mouse pointer to given screen coordinates.

publicsynchronized void mousePress (int buttons)

Presses one or more mouse buttons.

Presses one or more mouse buttons. The mouse buttons should
be released using the mouseRelease method.
Parameters:
- buttons - the Button mask; a combination of one or more of these flags:

InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK
InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK
InputEvent.BUTTON3_MASK

Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - if the button mask is not a valid combination
See Also: Robot.mouseRelease(int),

publicsynchronized void mouseRelease (int buttons)

Releases one or more mouse buttons.

publicsynchronized void mouseWheel (int wheelAmt)

Rotates the scroll wheel on wheel-equipped mice.

publicsynchronized void setAutoDelay (int ms)

Sets the number of milliseconds this Robot sleeps after generating an event.

Sets the number of milliseconds this Robot sleeps after generating an event.
Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - If ms is not between 0 and 60,000 milliseconds inclusive

publicsynchronized void setAutoWaitForIdle (boolean isOn)

Sets whether this Robot automatically invokes waitForIdle after generating an event.

Sets whether this Robot automatically invokes waitForIdle
after generating an event.
Parameters:
- isOn - Whether waitForIdle is automatically invoked

publicsynchronized String toString ()

Returns a string representation of this Robot.

publicsynchronized void waitForIdle ()

Waits until all events currently on the event queue have been processed.
