Hi friends

Is there a bulit in class that can directly control the open
aplications in windows?.
i,e. it can find out which programs are open and minimise and maximise
them, or even close them.

i am developing a java program that controls other programs in
windows, but to do this i need 2 things

1. a way to control the mouse and keyboard, i have found the class
ROBOT and this could control the windows as neccisary because ROBOT
directly controls the mouse and keyboard strokes.

2. i need a way to get information back from the other open programs,
i was thinking of print screen but that is a real mission,.. it would
be ideal to read the screen shot directly from the memory without
having to maximise or minimise the window.

Does Such A Class Exist?!?

By developing a program which is restricted to Windows, you are defeating the idea of "write once, run anywhere". Normally, Java apps are written so that they are NOT dependant upon the OS that they are created on. If you are using windows only constructs, you are making your program completely un-portable...

but to answer your question, check out this site

It might have something useful
