insert text into a different program

[MeMyselfAndI1]

hello,

I'm trying to retrieve text from a text file, then have my computer type that text into another programs text box. I got the text from the file into labview, but I can't figure out how to make the computer type out that text. I looked into the keystroke event functions but I am stuck.

Hi Me,

you need to activate the window of the receiving program, set the key focus to the text input and then generate key stroke messages - all using the Windows messaging system…

- Is this other program created using LabVIEW or is this just some arbitrary "other" software?

- There are tools like "AutoIt" which may help you to automate your task…

- There are threads on your topic in the forum, did you use the search tool before?
