How to trigger a tab event?

How do we know how to press the tab key by clicking on Java? I also want to know how to run the Shift + tab key programmatically in Java.

The following example shows how to simulate a mouse and keystrokes in Java using the java.awt.Robot class.

try { Robot robot = new Robot(); // Simulate a mouse click robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK); robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK); // Simulate a key press robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB); robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB); robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT); } catch (AWTException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }

My post has been edited to press SHIFT + TAB.

If you really just need to go to the next component, you can do:

 KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusNextComponent();

You can use Robot for this.
