Keyboard Simulation Help

Solved!
Go to solution

I am trying to use the simulate keyboard for labview 8.5. There are 2 keys that I cannot figure out and I neeed to use them both.

The underscore _ and the slash / or is that a backslash?

On the simulate keyboard vi the keys I need are listed as reserved.

 

I looked at the microsoft keyboard_event Function but sorry that was no help.

 

I am sure somebody knows how to get these keys to work?

 

I have attached the simulate keyboard vi if that helps.

 

Thanks for any help.

Rick.

Hi Rick,

send the shift down event first, then the key with your char on it and then both keys up.

 

Hope it helps.

Hi Rich,

Hope it helps.
