navigate the mouse and keyboard activities with LV?

[Petric]

Is it possible with LV to navigate the mouse and keyboard activities or do I need an other programming language?

I know there are some VI's I can collect the datainputs from mouse or keyboard, but is it also possible e.g. to navigate the mouse to specific coordinates by the program?

Thanks

LabVIEW itself does not have this built-in, but you can call OS functions to do this and by searching for "simulate mouse" or something similar you can find quite a few examples (like this one). The same holds true for simulating keyboard clicks.

Petric,

you can't move the mouse using ANY software. Because it is on the table in front of you. 😉

But you can move the CURSOR !

What you need is a DLL call from the Win32 API.

Have a look here:

and a look at the screenshot.

Best regars,

Thanks for your tips!

I think the best way is to use the User32.dll. There are some specified vi's for it, e.g. "set_cursor_position.vi" or "SimulateKeypress.vi".
