Capture keystrokes while VI running in the background

[nicklove99]

Hello,

My question is very similar to the thread located at:

http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=8742&requireLogin=False

Essentially I have a VI that is used to launch an executable program.  The executable window is the top most window and my VI is running in the background.  The VI waits for the user to press the ENTER button on the keyboard before it conitinues running the rest of the code.  The above mentioned thread lists a few possibilities to capture the keystroke while the VI is in the background but all the links to the suggestions are outdated and incorrect.  Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick
