That being said you maybe able to get away with something more simple.  If your program opens in a known location you could try to programatically control the mouse or send keyboard key commands to cause things to happen as if the user pressed them.  Can you start your program by using only the keyboard?  Maybe you could then reproduce those set of keys in LabVIEW to do what you want.
