Simulate Keystrokes for an executable run by System Exec.vi ?

[winterishere8]

I have an executable that I call using System Exec.vi. The executable opens when I use system exec, but it needs CTRL + S to run. So I want to simulate that keystroke. Also, once it completes, I want to simulate keystrokes to close. In short, I do not want the user to do anything other than run the VI which has system exec.vi. Everything else is done by simulating keystrokes which in turn depend on some conditions I would generate. Thanks.

The attached vi shows how to simulate keystrokes. Send the Control Key down code, S key down code, S key up code, then control key up code.

Hi

I have LabVIEW 7.0 and looks like your VI is from 7.1 and doesn't open in mine.

This happens all the time. Please mention what LV version you are using in your original question. Here is the 7.0 version.
