How to access controls/indicators from other apps without it displayed in LabVIEW?

[labc]

Hi, Guys,

In my project, I have to use other application which wasn't developed with LabVIEW.

My problem are:

1, How to set value to controls from its UI?

2, How to get data of its indicators?

3, How to simulate mouse actions, left-click and right-click?

4, Important, I'd like the UI is hidden.

Now I can do 1, 3 with its UI displayed, I can't do 2.

Someone recommended a tool named "autoit", but I have no idea about how to start it in LabVIEW.

Personally, I prefer to achieve my target with some windows dll or activX, etc.
