Whenever i want to connect to internet,i double click a connection icon(i created it earlier where username and password(for broadband) are stored) and click connect.The icon is in the network places(Windows XP)
May i know how to launch this connection from java or any other language? (I am asking this because my Internet Service Provider doesn’t charge anything between 2 AM and 8AM 🙂 )
This is going to be unnecessarily difficult with Java, I believe. You’d have to write some native code to do the job for you, at which point you may as well write your whole program in C# or C++ anyway.
But, since you asked for a Java approach, you might want to look at the Robot class. It lets you move the mouse to a specific location on the screen, click, and otherwise automate the manual actions that you are doing. It’s a very fragile solution.
Alternatively, if you can figure out what command the network connection shortcut is invoking, you can directly invoke it from Java using Runtime.exec.
(I don’t really see why Java is good for this task, though.)
