In reply to Hari. @Hari - there is no technical term called "TAB cursor". You probably mean "focus". You can check whether a certain component is currently in focus using the isFocusOwner() method of the underlying Java component (which you can find using the findjobj utility. For example:

hButton = uicontrol(...);
jButton = findjobj(hButton);
...
isInFocus = jButton.isFocusOwner();  % =logical true/false

As we press TAB button on keyboard, the control moves from one icon to next. the “TAB Cursor” term is being used for this control. As there are some means to find current location of mouse pointer, there might be some commands to find current position of TAB Cursor. i want to know about those commands.

thank u!

This feels like a horrible abuse of everything, but I wrapped my project in a nice GUI so it’s easy to experiment. But now I need a systematic test so I can make figures for the paper. I need them yesterday of course, and the important part of the code is REALLY slow. So I’m writing a script using jMouseEmu and inputEmu, so that the robot can operate the GUI while I sleep. Here’s hoping it works after my laptop screen falls asleep!

[…] Java Robot in two past articles on this blog, where guest blogger Kesh Ikuma explained (here and here) how it can be used to simulate mouse and keyboard actions programmatically. […]

Hey! Im using the inputEmu and its working great, although I had to modify it slightly since my keyboard isnt US standard. I have a quick question- do you know how to make the keyboard type the content of a variable you have set?
For instance:
variable= test 1
inputemuu(‘key_normal’,variable)

I would like this to type “test 1”
Any help would be appreciated 🙂
