How can I bring another application to Windows' foreground from CVI?

[bmihura]

Not only would I like to bring another application to the foreground, but after I send it keystrokes from LabWindows/CVI, I'd like to ensure that it's still in the foreground.

LaunchApplication doesn't work because it launches a separate instance of the application.

I don't think CVI has any functionality to do this. either you can use windows SDK functions or you cal use autoit. Download autoit dll from here. http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.php then call activate_widnow or something like that. You just need to know your window title.

That "autoit" program is perfect and easy to use, thanks.

Sheetal:

Thank you for recommending AutoIt.  It solved a similar problem that I was having.

Good idea, I'm a huge AutoIt fan anyway. I should have thought of this.
