Alternate for C# System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send method in java

Question

I would like to know is there any alternates for the following C# function in java..

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send()

Basically i am doing an application that should send key presses to system that is for other applications.

like if i send

Ctrl+C Value

to the system, it should copy the selected content (in any other application, not in my application)

any other suggestions are also welcome

Thanks for your reply. i went through this earlier but got a doubt whether this will for other applications.. – practice2perfect Feb 21 '14 at 18:06
@user3260179 It should. Assuming it is calling the Windows API then it should. If not, you can always call Windows API by yourself or use some 3rd party scripting libraries. – Steve Feb 21 '14 at 18:09
I will try the robots and get back to you – practice2perfect Feb 21 '14 at 18:15

Your best bet will probably be to call the Windows API directly.

The call you would be using would be "PostMessage" from the windows API.

See the following link for a reference on how to call the Windows native API,
