I want to create a program to control another program like a robot.
I have found a solution for C# with user32.dll, but I need one for Java.
Are there any methods similar to FindWindow and SendMessage in Java?

1Look into using [JNA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Native_Access) for adding this functionality to your Java program. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jun 26 '16 at 13:51

For example, please look at [this answer of mine](http://stackoverflow.com/a/6091597/522444) as well as [this one](http://stackoverflow.com/a/7699657/522444). – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jun 26 '16 at 13:51

For my money though, if I wanted to write a program to drive another one, I'd not use Java but rather would use a much more operating system-specific tool such as AutoIt if this were for the Windows platform. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jun 26 '16 at 13:54

Are C,C++ or even python good for this purpose ? – Hamed Mahmoudkhani Jun 26 '16 at 14:02

C, C++ and C# would be better, yes. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jun 26 '16 at 14:03

Java was specifically written to be as OS-agnostic as possible, meaning that you have to jump through hoops if you want to write code that needs to get cozy with the OS. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jun 26 '16 at 14:10

Have you solved it? – parsecer Feb 07 '22 at 07:53
