Moving the cursor in Java

Question

I want to make an app that measures the cursor's distance from the center of a component and then moves the cursor back to the center (like most PC video games do). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

Robot class can do the trick for you. Here is a sample code for moving the mouse cursor:

try {     // These coordinates are screen coordinates     int xCoord = 500;     int yCoord = 500;      // Move the cursor     Robot robot = new Robot();     robot.mouseMove(xCoord, yCoord); } catch (AWTException e) { }
