I want to fire a key event in code to make the program act as if a user
pressed a key.Is this possible? And how to?
Thanks and regards,

Hank

You can generate an OS key event with Display.post(Event). Alternatively if
you just want to notify a widget's listeners then use
Widget.notifyListeners(...).

Thanks for your reply. But I can't find Display.post(Event). There is only
Display.postEvent(Event), but it is not a public method, so I cannot use it.
Is there any other way?

Also, you can use AWT's Robot class to do this.
