B4J Question Simulate keypress+combos

[ThRuST]

Hi all, I found this native Java code how to simulate keypress which I want to convert to B4J, because I need a automatic keypress of CTRL+V keypress and I need a solution without the jAWTRobot library.

Any solution needs to support SDK v9.0.4


You can find the native Java code here

The pasting occurs when a menuitem is clicked in the floating menu.
I just load text from the SQLite database into a string variable and to paste it at the cursor position I use

AWTRobot.RobotPaste(cm_data)

Perhaps it cannot be used this way, but it works on PC. On Mac it pastes the character "v".
That's why I want to try another way, because I really want my project to work on Mac just the same.

try

AWTRobot.RobotSpecialKeyCombo("meta_v") ' for mac
AWTRobot.RobotSpecialKeyCombo("ctrl_v") ' for windows

I tried

AWTRobot.RobotSpecialKeyCombo("meta_v") ' for mac

output is

v

I assume the delay is needed in both methods. It would be great if Roycefer could update his jAWTRobot library to v1.56!!

How to call the native code snippet and make it run in B4J? I guess it's something similar to post #29?
