I would like to write a simple C++ program for Linux (Ubuntu) to control other GUI programs. For example, to be able to read text labels and put text into entry boxes of other programs written using gtkmm. I have looked at X11 but I don’t seem to find any relevant information or examples.
Thank you very much for any information.
One way of doing it is via the
XTEST(pdf) extension.An example usage for key events is here: X11 Fake Key Event Generation using XTest Extension.
