How to capture keyboard strokes while focus is on an external app. Opened with system exec

[DUKMARIVAN]

Hi to the Forum,

I have an application that runs an external app. Through system exec, while this application is open the user needs to input a 6 digit serial number using the keyboard, I need to capture in parallel that information on my main VI in order to perform some information validations, such as the six digits were entered, the serial number is not repeated etc. I have read other post about the same issue but did not found a practical way to achieve a solution, please help with an example of how to do that as I'm on the final stage of the project.

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Hi MRDK,

You can/have to use Connectivity>>Input Device Control palette functions.

Attached is the simple example.
