How to Simulte the keyboard?

[LAVA 1.0 Content]

Hello,

I am writng a vi to simulate the keyboard. basically i need to send in some commands to a Hardware (running linux) using plink.

i could not do it by using the System exec.vi and hence thought let me write a vi which will open up a "cmd" (command line prompt) and let me type what i need to type in it using LV. So i am using the user32.dll for accomplishing the same

I manged to get 60% of the vi but do not know how to simulate certain keystrokes like " / ? * ^ & and other things.

one thing i found that to simulate the * (which nothing but "shift" followed by "8") u have to pass the value 16 (for shift) and 56 (for 8) but dont know how to perform the ? or ? operation.(pasing ascii equivalent * as 42 didnt helped me)

Please see the attched vi...Its very basic (i didnt managed to write it in a professional way )

also loked at the ASCII table but some of the decimal equivalent values didn't helped me out...

A few minutes of searching might do you good if you know what you're searching for.

Incidentally, a simple search would also reveal several LabVIEW implementations of Keybd_Event, which would also save you some time. Like this, for example.

Here are the basic ones that I have from my archives. It looks like it is using the same dll call as yours but there is an enum or ring that stores all the key codes. There are also some demo programs to show how to do multiple key presses.
