<br> Hi, LabVIEW itself doesn't have built-in features that will let you simulate keyboard entries and clicks, as you may have figured out. This can however be achieved by using a combination of tricks and techniques.
Firstly, simulating keyboard entries is much easier than mouse-clicks. You can use Windows' shell scripting to issue various commands -- the <b>AppActivate</b> command to activate your application. And then there's the <b>SendKeys</b> command which simulates keystrokes. Second response on the following thread has such example scripts and other details: http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000C2860000&UCATEGORY_0=_9_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=sendkey&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0 You can run these and such scripts from within LabVIEW using the SystemExec VI. In fact you can generate the script on the fly using string functions in LabVIEW, if you wish. Secondly, the following thread has a simulate_keyboard VI which directly calls into Windows DLL to simulate keyboard entries. You may use this VI as well to generate keystrokes. http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=5065000000080000009DBE0000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=sendkey&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0 Hope this gives you some ideas. <i>Khalid</i><p>
