Using Robot to type a string 1

[timmay3141]

I'm trying to use the Robot class to type a string. It doesn't seem like it should be difficult, but I can't figure out how to turn a char into a KeyEvent.VK_whatever, which is what Robot's keyPress method expects. I'm sure there is a very simple method of converting them, but I tried looking on google and couldn't find one. Any help would be appreciated.

For
'A', you could use VK_A and for
'B' VK_B
'b' VK_b and so on.

Fortunately sun has choosen to use an int for VK_whatever, and VK_A is the ascii-value of 'A' and so on...

Ahh, I didn't know that the ascii value was the same as the VK_. I got it working now by just turning the string into all caps and then using keyPress for each char in the string. Thanks for the help.
