Hello everybody!
I keep hearing in this list about some VIs which monitor the keyboard
and exist in a OS-independent version (e.g. with CINs for "all" OS's),
what would be appreciated to write portable VIs.
My problem is, no matter where I search, I can't find it. Do this VIs
exist, and if YES, where to find them????
If they don't exist, why are people all the time talking about it?
Probably because it would be a nice feature!!! (Please, NI, put it with
high priority on the wish list!).
Greetings, Gilbert
Some extracts of earlier postings:
1) Greg McKaskle:
" ... there are some keyboard VIs on the NI ftp site that give key
character events
straight out of the LV event queue. They aren't the raw windows
even
ts, but rather the platform independent ones that LV either will,
or has already processed, depending on how the VI registers.
The VIs are also probably available from the knowledgebase."
I only find
"ftp://ftp.ni.com//support/labview/vis/windows/3.0/keyboard/keyboard.zip",
which contains Windows dependent CIN's.
I found one article in the knowledgebase pointing to the NI Developer
Zone, which offers again the same libraries.
2) Jason Frels:
"At ni.com there is an example program using a library called keyboard.llb.
This allows you to detect keystokes. Just go to ni.com and search for "Keyboard
Utilities for Capturing Keystrokes". "
