Is there any direct way to control external running program window with Labview 8.5

[Nakul]

Hi all,

I have a application which I have to control through my LabVIEW program. LabVIEW program should be able to simulate & automate all the cotrols and data of externally running window. I suppose one of the method is to use Windows API using Call Library node in LabVIEW (which looks combursome). Can any expert suggest more efficient method/idea?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nakul,

if you external application has no interface (like ActiveX) to control it , then as far as i know the Windows API is the only way.
