Launch .exe application and intialize its position and size

[RogerLu]

How can I use LabVIEW to launch an .exe application such as on screen keyboard and intialize its position and size?

I am using Windows XP system.

I know I can use System Exec.vi to launch an exe application and close it, but how can I control its position such as running in the right-top corner when it is launched?

Hi RogerLu,

you can use the win API (user32.dll) to get the handle of the window. If you have the handle, then you can move the window with "moveWindow" function.
