[SOLVED] Creating KeyEvent with specific fields

Creating KeyEvent with specific fields

How would I go about changing the fields of a generated KeyEvent?

Actual KeyEvent from keyboard

java.awt.event.KeyEvent[KEY_PRESSED,
keyCode=65,
keyText=A,
keyChar='a',
keyLocation=KEY_LOCATION_STANDARD,
rawCode=65,
primaryLevelUnicode=97,
scancode=30,
extendedKeyCode=0x41] on panel0

Generated KeyEvent

java.awt.event.KeyEvent[KEY_PRESSED,
keyCode=65,
keyText=A,
keyChar='a',
keyLocation=KEY_LOCATION_STANDARD,
rawCode=0,
primaryLevelUnicode=0,
scancode=0,
extendedKeyCode=0x0] on panel0

new KeyEvent(component, KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, System.currentTimeMillis(), 0, 65, 'a')

Difference

rawCode
primaryLevelUnicode
scancode
extendedKeyCode

Is there a way I can set those fields on a KeyEvent object?

Solution

Looking at the source in the KeyEvent class, it appears you cannot set those:

//set from native code.
private transient long rawCode = 0;
private transient long primaryLevelUnicode = 0;
private transient long scancode = 0; // for MS Windows only
private transient long extendedKeyCode = 0;

It's private, and set from native code (so no changing in Java).
