Hi Paul,

I wanted to ask if you might know how to programmatically generate a mouse event, like a left button down, at specific coordinates on the screen without physically moving the mouse. Alternatively, do you happen to know a method for generating a left button down event directly on a control on the front panel in LabVIEW?

Thanks in advance,
Max

What's your purpose for the event? 

What kind of control?  If the control is a button, you can use property node to generate a Boolean value change event.

Thanks, but I need to generate a mouse down event on a string control. Doing KeyFocus doesn't help me.

So your purpose is make the strong control ready for keyboard input/paste?

KeyFocus should work.

If you show us your code, we can debug it for you.

Simple code. I have to use moues down event.
Is there a way I can make this functionality happen?

I don't know why you choose move down event of the string control to initialize your code.

It might make your life a little easier if you go with the usual way.

if you only need initial once, add a sequence structure outside the loop.  Add your initial code in a frame before the loop.

I would like to know how to click on a certain location on the screen without moving the mouse.
This is the main functionality. Everything else doesn't matter to me.
