Hi, all:

     I am using VEE pro 9.3 npw, and have a task that need to call a BAT file and then send keyboard number (like 1,2 or 3) to this CMD.exe (BAT) window. I have searched VRF topics about this and found I should import "User32.dll" to do that!

     I have issue to do this because it need "handle" function to change input window from VEE to CMD windonw, then use "sendkey" function to do that! I have been sucked in this question about 1 months.

     Does anyone could give me a hand and show me some way to do this? Any example will be appreciated. Here is one example might be relative as attached. Thank you ~

Sounds complex! It would be useful to know a little more about your application as there might be an easier way to achieve your requirement.

For instance, you might be able to send your data directly as a parameter passed to your batch file, or maybe do the control direct from VEE calling executables ( via a command line if need be ) directly.

    Why not just using IPCONFIG in the execute Box?
    All without sendkeys.
    Or write a batch file which is doing what you want. Have a look in help and search for exe for some more details ....

      Hi, dBdetlef :
      
      Because this BAT contain different chipset control setting (done by firmware guys), we used to manually type in for what we want to test. Now I am trying to use VEE for auomation testing control, in order to increase testing run over night. And also these setting values might change when results are not good (increase/decrease gain, volt output or somethings). So firmware guys are not possible to modify (update) each individual BAT for me.
      
      In summary, what I to do is just replace duplicate and manually key in for testing. So far my VEE work not bad, which save lots time for me.
