Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW
PrintThese VIs make calls to the Windows Application Programming Interface (API) for managing and controlling windows (minimize, maximize, move, resize, rename, close, etc); managing applications (run application, quit application, print file, etc); adding and removing network resources; keyboard filtering; and system utilities (mouse cursor position, windows path, screen resolution, system path, etc). These VIs are intended for use only on 32-bit Windows platforms.
These utilities were originally created with LabVIEW 3.1, but have been recompiled into LabVIEW 6.0 and 8.6.1 for your use.
The _labview_win_util_32.zip archive contains the files saved with LabVIEW 6.0.
The labview_win_util32_86.zip archive contains the files saved with LabVIEW 8.6.1.
The abilities of the VI Server supersede the functionality of the VIs. National Instruments recommends that you use the VI Server functionality for new applications. Implement calls that the VI Server does not support through the Windows API directly by using a Call Library Function node in a more recent version of LabVIEW.

Write to Window by name
These vi's work great. I wish there was
one more that you could input the name
of the Window, and write keyboard
commands, alt, ctrl, shift, and characters.

Still Missing
The lvwutil32.dll file is still missing from
the archive, as well as the documentation
that originally came with the archive.

The download is missing LVWUtil32.dll
...although it seems to be available
elsewhere in devzone.
