SendKeys and Java Applets

Keywords: 	 sendkeys java applet automation

Question:

I have to install IBM Visualage for java. My pb is the first window to appear when i launch setup.exe is a kind of "FORM" not a standard window. I cannot have SendKeysTo to make the job because there is no child windows appears in the file's result of analyse.wbt. Is there a workaround that exist or i have to get the function MouseMove to get the job done?

Answer:

WinBatch does not do Java on mSIE very well. SOmetimes there is better luck with Netscape.

The Microsoft Java implementation does not use anything "real" that Winbatch can see or click on or anything. Its mostly just a picture of a window.

The Netscape implementation, (It used to anyway) uses real Windows controls that WinBatch can see.

Then there are other alternatives like using different Virtual Java Machines (instead of Microsofts) but that also has difficulties. No good answers on Java Applet automation.
