"Emulate a Device" from code

a_riot42

Anyone know of a way to duplicate what "Emulate a device" does but from code? I want to be able to run the string event of a touch panel, and can do this with Emulate a Device, sending a string to it, and the string event executes, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this otherwise. Perhaps there is no way....

How about create a virtual device that sends a string to another virtual device on a button push on the first device. Then do a data event on the second device.

If you temporarily change the device ID of the touch panel to something in the virtual device range and send a string to it, the string event will fire...
