I have a simple requirement. I have to call Notepad.exe and send some key strokes from Teststand. I downloaded an example from NI webiste. The example works fine if i call in Labview. If i call the same VI from Teststand, it does not work. I think the problem is getting the Notepad window to focus.
Also i tried setting the "Show Front Panel WHen Called". It works sometimes. But i don't want the front panel window to show. I have attached the example i downloaded.

Hi Nathan,
I will test to see if I can reproduce this issue. What OS are you using and which version of LabVIEW and TestStand?

Hi,
I am using WinXP, Labview 2009 and Teststand 4.2
I have solved this probelem by calling user32.dll directly from Teststand rather than calling it thro Labview.
