CTRL+P print with robot class

[Former Member]

Hi, I'm trying to print a html document with this following java code:

  public void onActionPrintEncuestaPDF(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
  {
    //@@begin onActionPrintEncuestaPDF(ServerEvent)
	try{
		Robot robot = new Robot();
            
		
		// Ctrl+P
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL );		
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_P );		
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_P );
            
		Thread.sleep(500);
            
		//Alt+U
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT );
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_U );
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT );
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_U );
            
		Thread.sleep(500);
            
		//entrée
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER );
            
		Thread.sleep(500);

	}
	catch(Exception e){  }

    //@@end
  }

But unafortunately doesn't work. Somebody knows what happends?

Thanks!

You can probably try to build a client side application which will control Internet Explorer with your application. I'd say automated testing tools would do the same without programming efforts.

Hi Gabriel,

java.awt.Robot class is a part of AWT package and intended for the client side Java GUI, your Web Dynpro code runs on the server side.

Ok, and there are any posibility or solution to run this code for the client side Java GUI?

Thanks
