java 默认焦点,如何把焦点从默认的程序打开文件，从Java？

From within Java, I am opening an Excel file with the default file handler (MS Excel, in this case :-) ) using the method described in this stackoverflow question:

Desktop dt = Desktop.getDesktop();

dt.open(new File(filename));

However, the Excel program doesn't get the focus. Is there any easy way to do so?

Edit: There is a related stackoverflow question for C#, but I didn't find any similar Java method.

Edit 2: I've did some simple tests, and discovered that Excel starts and gets the focus whenever no instance of Excel is running. When Excel is already open en NOT minimized, the application doesn't get the focus. If instead the Excel Windows was minimized, the above code will trigger a maximization of the window and Excel getting the focus (or vice versa :-) ).

If you only care about Windows (implied in the question), you can change the way you invoke Excel: use "cmd start...".

I have been using this piece of code to launch Windows applications for some time now. Works every time. It relies on the file association in Windows to find the application. The launched application becomes the focused window on the desktop.

In your case, Excel should be associated with .xls, .csv and other typical extensions. If it is, Windows will launch Excel, passing your file to it.

Usage:

MyUtilClass.startApplication( "c:\\mydir\\myfile.csv", "my window title" );

file is the full path to the input file for Excel and title is the window title (the application may or may not take it - Excel changes the window title).

public static void startApplication( String file, String title )

{

try

{

Runtime.getRuntime().exec( new String[] { "cmd", "/c", "start", title, file } );

}

catch( Exception e )

{

System.out.println( e.getMessage() );

}

}
