Labview lock other application window like browser and send string data in text box

Hi all, im new here, and i have some situation but dint find any solution yet,

 

The situation is

- I have a barcode reader to read a barcode and will connect and communicate to my labview application through tcp/ip

- The information that i get from barcode reader need to pass to other application such as Browser or any other apps, labview ack like keystroke

- I have seen some software able to do it, after select other application window then press ctrl+L to focus lock the window, then press ctrl+R to release

 

any idea how to do it?

Hi elba,

 

you need to use Windows functions to achieve your requirements - or use that "other software"!

Best regards,
