Programatically filling in menus; Can I use LV?

Greetings to All;
 
I have this program which is an .exe and I can launch it in Windos enviroment and give me a menu that I need to tab and fill in the user name, password, port number and more.
 
My question is Can I use Labview to programmatically and automatically fill in this menus? If yes, How?
The program does not support DDE, OLE or Active X. Also, it could not be converter to DLL to share parameters.
 
 
Thank You

The short answer is no, since the program doesn't support any external interface. A better way is to use something like AutoIt to automate this task.

If the "menu" is created by VC/VB, you can send a string to individal fields to fill the menu.
If it's created by LabVIEW, you have to simulate key press to fill the menu.
