Event Structure use

[storms]

Hello,

I would like to programatically (without actually pressing a key) generate a key down event . Can this be done? It is not obvious from the literature how to do this...all references need an object.

Thank you.

Are you using LabVIEW version 6.1, 7, or 7.1? This makes a difference in the answer because the functionality of the event structure changed.

I am using Labview 7.0

The easiest way is to fire a user event, and not try to simulate a key down event. Look at the example called "Programmatically Fire Events" in the example finder. It shows how to register and fire your own events.
