Click-forwarding into Java applications not working
Hi,
I've attempted to make OnTopReplica click-forward to Java, but couldn't get it to work, and was wondering if it's because of some weird interactions it could have with the internals of the Java program (not Java itself, or the JVM, etc.), so I tested it out with the simplest, ugliest GUI I could make in a minute or two:
SMALL EDIT: I am running Windows 10, and tried it on my Windows 7 machine, both with the same results. Although I could easily get it working when I tested it on Windows Explorer, etc.

(Basically, a button, that increments the "count" variable, and a label to show what value is in "count")
This did not work, and I was wondering if there is a solution to this, or it's just tough luck? And is there any other alternative (couldn't find anything near the extent of OnTopReplica, and its workings (specifically Click-forwarding based))?
Best Regards
Yeah I tried using it on the Old School Runescape client, and third party clients for the game and they don't seem to work. If I right click, the right click menu comes up in the very top left corner, but other than that no other clicks go through. Super disappointing.
Same issue here any solutions yet? I know tons of people that would want this application for Old School Runescape uses!
Has anyone located a work around for this? I plan to test out running a VM and having the clone be of the VM screen. I'm not familiar with Java, @LorenzCK is this even possible with the current framework?
Update: Functionality works through VM/Teamviewer (Teamviewer has some issue with left clicking but is viable for osrs)
Great if that works! The problem with cloning apps running within a VM is that OnTopReplica forwards inputs to the VM window or TeamViewer, which in turn forwards them to the target application. So, if this works, it doesnʼt necessarly imply that OnTopReplica works with any Java application running locally (not within a VM). It is my understanding that it mostly depends on the specific application and/or the UI framework. But this is encouraging! :smile:

I was also able to play OSRS through TeamViewer, it is a little wonky but works enough.
Trying to use this app with the Nintendo DS emulator DeSmuME, as a way to separate the emulated DS screens onto separate monitors. Was hoping click-forwarding would let me use the OTR mirror of the lower half work with touch inputs, but clicks aren't being forwarded to the emulator.
