How to listen for inputs without a component? For creating bots

I mean, for example, I want to write a a program that listens for keys f12 to (for example) skip the track in a media player and f11 to skip back. Thinks like the like :P. But I want to do this without any component, becasue the program won't have the focus at all.
If it is needed to create a dll just tell as much as you pacience affords.

You can't do this in Java. And it will be OS specific.

How to listen for key press when air app does not have focus

Hi,
I am developing a application in air and part of the functionality I need is the ability for the app to listen for when a specific key is pressed, even when the air app does not have focus.
Is there support for this for windows or mac? If not, how might this be accomplished? ANE?

Ok Mr. Smartass...Ok
I'm building a browser that is always open, and when
a user presses Ctrl+F1 (notice, just those two keys,
I don't care what else they press...) the browser
will open up. That way, you don't have to wait for it
to load all the time.You have two ideas here. One is having a universal key map that always gets ctrl-f1 sent to your app. The other is a program that is constantly running so that you don't have to wait for it to open up. The former is not possible (and this is a good thing) As warneria and I have been saying, it is bad design for an app to try to force an OS to implement this kind of feature.

Listening to input without being in record

In logic can you monitor an external device thru your hardware on an input in logic without being in record and be able to turn it off and on. Thanks for the help

Yes, you can but it depends on what audio interface you have and how you have configured it. That may sound like a glib answer but without knowing what hardware you have (or intend to buy) it's not an easy answer.
For example, I can monitor audio inputs by using the driver software that operates my audio interface to patch the incoming signals to a dedicated monitor 'out' socket.

Captivate 6 How to validate user input without using keyboard shortcuts

I've been using Adobe Captivate 6 for about 4 months now. Completely new to the program. The number one function of Captivate for me will to create many software simulations for verifiable training. This means that I will be utilizing the training and assessment modes A LOT. I have run into many hurdles throughout the process, but one of my biggies right now is this:
In the training and assessment modes, I have times where the user must input data such as an address or number. In the actual software they will be utilizing it is not always required to use TAB or ENTER in order to move to the next field. In some instances, it will be necessary to actually click into a field after entering data. My problem is that it seems as if Captivate will not allow this, as a keyboard shortcut is automatically entered even if a TAB or ENTER is not required after input. I assume this is so that the inputted information can be verified. If you decide you do not want to use a keyboard shortcut to validate the inputted information, you must have a submit button. Is there any way to change this?? All I want is for the user to enter information and then click into another field WITHOUT having to press ENTER, TAB, or hit a submit button. Is this even possible if you need user input to be validated?? Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Hello,
A while ago I explained the work flow I’m using often in that case, only for the last field you need to have either a shortcut or a submit button AND the sequence has to be imposed. The idea is that you make the Submit button for the first field transparent, delete the ‘Submit’ text and put it over the second field. So if the user clicks on the second field, he also submits the value of the first field.
Here is the blog post I’m referring to:
http://lilybiri.posterous.com/one-submit-button-for-multiple-text-entry-box
Although it was written for previous versions, the idea will still be functional.

How to listen for actionContent button click event in View

Hello,
Doing this:
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.addEventListener('actionContentClick',showOptions);
Results in calling showOptions() as many times as the view was showed. The handler sticks and each time I enter a view in the creationComplete hander for it I add the same listener over and over again.
How should this be done?
1. FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication is the right object to listen to?
2. I can remove the listener on view deactivate, but I am not sure if that will be called each time the view goes away.
3. Can I check if an object already has a listener and which is it?
Thank you.

Thank you, Tom.
I was complicating things for myself by exposing methods in the main MXML file to add and remove and listen to click events on a button placed in the actionContent, instead of declaring it in MXML for each and adding a listener to it. Views had different actionContent buttons or rather icons for them.
In regards to hasEvenListener, can I also get the method(s) attached to that? Probably not though.

How to listen for cell selection changes within a JTable

Problem: my table has 8 columns, with 4 of them containing very large text (up to 1000 chars). Solution is to set the initial size these columns so that the 1st 20 chars are visible, and if one of these columns gains focus/selection via mouse-clicking/tabbing/arrow keys, the entire text is shown in a JTextArea below the table.
I added a ListSelectionListener to the table, but this only informs me when the row selection has changed.
I added a FocusListener to the table, but this only informs me when the table gains/loses focus, not when it's been changed within.
I added a TableColumnModelListener to the TableColumnModel, but this only informs me when the column selection has changed.
I didn't bother with MouseListener as this won't handle change of selection via tabbing.
The LSL got me half way there, and the TCML got me the other half. Any ideas on how to combine?
Or is there something obvious that I'm missing?

Walter Laan wrote:
Use both and call the same method which updates the text area based on the current selected (or focused == lead selection index) cell.Yeah - that's what I figured. I just didn't know if there was a magic bullet (i.e., a single listener) out there that I was missing.
While you are at it, also add a table model listener which calls the same method if the selected cell is updated.I'll keep that in mind, but it's not necessary in this particular case. The table cells in question will be uneditable. The text area will have supporting Edit/Save/Cancel buttons.

How to ignore any input on the component

i want to make a JFrame Container ignore all input event (ie. key, mouse) until "start" button is pressed .
for example , there are button on the Container. but these buttons are prevented from be pressed until "Start" button is pressed.
i want to implement those function not using setEnabled(false) method. because it makes button's shape changed.
Actually what i try to make is a game that blocks all the input from user until game is started .
any comment will be helpful.
thank you

How to listen for a change in a JTextArea?

well ..... the subject says it all :)

The JavaDoc says it all :)
The java.awt.TextArea could be monitored for changes by adding a TextListener for TextEvents. In the JTextComponent based components, changes are broadcasted from the model via a DocumentEvent to DocumentListeners. The DocumentEvent gives the location of the change and the kind of change if desired. The code fragment might look something like:
DocumentListener myListener = ??;
JTextArea myArea = ??;
myArea.getDocument().addDocumentListener(myListener);http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextArea.html

JPopopMenu: how to listen for ActionEvent ?

Geary II says "The only information that can be obtained from an instance of PopupMenuEvent is the source of the event".
How do you ascertain what menu item the user selected?

User hasn't selected an item. It's a popupmenu event... meaning the menu has just popped up

How to listen for resizing of JTable column

Is there anyway to tell when the columns in a JTable are being resized by the user? I couldn't find any listeners or anything that will tell you when the user is dragging the column width with the mouse.
Thanks.

Use ColumnModelListener as shown below:-
          table.getColumnModel().addColumnModelListener(new TableColumnModelListener() {
               public void columnAdded(TableColumnModelEvent e) {
               public void columnMoved(TableColumnModelEvent e) {
               public void columnRemoved(TableColumnModelEvent e) {
               public void columnMarginChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
               public void columnSelectionChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
          });

Input without screen echo

Hi all,
May I ask how to do the input without screen echo in Java? I can't think of a way to eliminate this echo even after redirecting the standard output before reading.
Thanks in advance

That means I should use the key listener for this
purpose ?
I would like to do some password entering job like in
UNIX, not to show whatever the user typed in.
Therefore, should I use this kind of thing to handle
this problem?Not necessarily a key listener. There's the standard javax.swing.JPasswordField class for usage on a GUI form, for this very purpose.

Listening for an event outside of the object...

Hey, I spent a lot of my day trying to figure out how to
listen for an event outside of an instantiated object of my own.
I made my own class called
Link. When my Link class is instantiated, a Loader object
(var loader:Loader) is added and it loads a user-specified external
PNG file. I want to track the Event.COMPLETE event OUTSIDE of my
Link class, like in my FLA's Actionscript.
So, I tried a few things without any luck, and by these you
might get the idea of exactly what I'm trying to do:
var link1:Link = new Link(...);
link1.loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handler);
That didn't work, so I tried:
var link1.Link = new Link(...);
var loader = link1.getChildByName("loader") as Loader;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handler);
... that didn't work either. :(
Any ideas?
If I am taking the completely wrong approach please do let me
know. If there's ANY way to know WHEN my loader has completed
loading its image outside of my Link class...
Thanks!
~ Andrew Merskin

Let your Link class handle the Loader events. When
Event.COMPLETE fires,
just redispatch the event or dispatch a custom event.
Example 1:
link1.addEventListener("ALLDONELOADING", linkEventHandler);
function linkEventHandler(event:Event)
if(event.type == "ALLDONELOADING")
// do something or nothing at all
// Inside your link class you are listening for the load
complete
function loadCompleteHandler(event:Event)
dispatchEvent(new Event("ALLDONELOADING")));
Example 2:
link1.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, linkEventHandler);
function linkEventHandler(event:Event)
if(event.type == Event.COMPLETE)
// do something or nothing at all
// Inside your link class you are listening for the load
complete
function loadCompleteHandler(event:Event)
dispatchEvent(event);

How to listen a key event without having any window component

Hi all,
I would like to know how can I listen key events from an application that doesn't use windows
Thanks

yoiu can make a Thread run inside your application. This will listen for inputs in the command line. For examplethis is part of a chat server (on the console) with let the server manager to enter messages or commands.
The message or command entered on the console by the user is catched and processed as a String. The string is passed to the processConsole() method, you must define yourself.
Th Thread is never stopped, so the user may enter any message at any time
The core of you application should also be a Thread for better performance, but maybe it will also work without. Jst try and provide needed importstatements.
Runnable runInput = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
          while(true) {
            try {
              byte buffer[] = new byte[255];
              System.out.print(prompt);
              System.in.read(buffer);//, 0, 255);
              String inputString = new String(buffer, "Default");
              processConsole(inputString);
            catch(NullPointerException npe) {
              System.out.println("Syntax error");
            catch(Exception e) {e.printStackTrace(); }
      Thread inputThread = new Thread(runInput);
      inputThread.start();
