Two outside applications, need to send keyboard strokes to both.

[dirtyb15]

Hi all. Ive got an application that im working on where i need to run 2 different programs and send keystrokes to both of them (separately) with labview.  Is there a way to give focus to each of the two program, then send keystrokes? i have been searching and think i know how to send keystrokes, but not sure how to give other windows focus. Any examples or advice would be much appreciated.

thanks!

Hai,

See the attached zip file for another sample.

Mathan,

I fail to see how this example even answers the question, and the way it's written it waits until the user clicks on the STOP button on the first VI that pops up before continuing.
