Open other applications, simulate keyboard inputs, and view clipboard outputs?

[rent]

Can I create an exexcutable which will open other Windows applications, simulate keyboard input to the application, and access application output via the clipboard?

Hi,

There aren't any CVI specific functions that allow you to do this, but if you have the Windows SDK I'm sure you can find some functions that would help you do this. All you would have to do is include the header file (normally windows.h) to your CVI application and you would be able to access those functions. Take a look on the MSDN website and possibly google around to see if you can find them. Hope this helps!

Rebel CVI is a wonderfull website about CVI (in french)
I think that's pretty much what you wan't to do.
