1. Overview
|
||||
--------
|
||||
JIntellitype is an API for interacting with Microsoft Intellitype keyboard
|
||||
commands as well as registering for Global Hotkeys in your application.
|
||||
The API is a Java JNI library that uses a DLL to do all the communication
|
||||
with Windows. This library ONLY works on Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Have you ever wanted to have CTRL+SHIFT+G maximize your Swing application
|
||||
on the desktop even if that application did not have focus? Now you can by
|
||||
registering a Windows Hotkey combination your application will be alerted
|
||||
when the combination you select is pressed anywhere in Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Have you ever wanted to react to those special Play, Pause, Stop keys on some
|
||||
Microsoft and Logitech keyboards? Even some laptops now have those special
|
||||
keys built in and if you want your application to "listen" for them, now you
|
||||
can!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Features
|
||||
--------
|
||||
-> Can register global hotkey combinations in Windows
|
||||
-> Application is notified even if it does not have focus.
|
||||
-> Can react to those Play, Pause, Stop, Next, Forward Media keys like Winamp
|
||||
-> Very little code, easy to use API
|
||||
-> Examples included in JIntellitypeTester.java
|
||||
|
||||
3. Installation
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
FOR USERS:
|
||||
-> Copy the following files into your classpath
|
||||
-> jintellitype.jar
|
||||
-> JIntellitype.dll (or put in Windows/System32)
|
||||
-> JIntellitype64.dll (rename to JIntellitype.dll and put in path)
|
||||
|
||||
FOR DEVELOPERS:
|
||||
-> To build you need Maven 2.0.7 or higher installed from Apache. Just run "mvn package" from the
|
||||
directory where the pom.xml is located to build the project.
|
||||
|
||||
-> To build the C++ code you need Bloodshed C++ IDE. When you load the .dev project included do not
|
||||
forget to edit Project->Options and under Directories Tab change the Includes directory to contain
|
||||
both:
|
||||
/java5/include
|
||||
/java5/include/win32
|
||||
|
||||
Where "java5" is the location of your Java JDK.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. Quick Usage
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
// Create JIntellitype
|
||||
...
|
||||
JIntellitype.getInstance().addHotKeyListener(new HotKeyListener() {...);
|
||||
JIntellitype.getInstance().addIntellitypeListener(new IntellitypeListener() {...);
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
// Assign global hotkeys to Windows+A and ALT+SHIFT+B
|
||||
JIntellitype.getInstance().registerHotKey(1, JIntellitype.MOD_WIN, (int)'A');
|
||||
JIntellitype.getInstance().registerHotKey(2, JIntellitype.MOD_ALT + JIntellitype.MOD_SHIFT, (int)'B');
|
||||
|
||||
// listen for hotkey
|
||||
public void onHotKey(int aIdentifier) {
|
||||
if (aIdentifier == 1)
|
||||
System.out.println("WINDOWS+A hotkey pressed");
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// listen for intellitype play/pause command
|
||||
public void onIntellitype(int aCommand) {
|
||||
switch (aCommand) {
|
||||
case JIntellitype.APPCOMMAND_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE:
|
||||
System.out.println("Play/Pause message received " + Integer.toString(aCommand));
|
||||
break;
|
||||
default:
|
||||
System.out.println("Undefined INTELLITYPE message caught " + Integer.toString(aCommand));
|
||||
break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Termination
|
||||
...
|
||||
JIntellitype.getInstance().cleanUp();
|
||||
System.exit(0);

||||
