Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW
Downloads
Filename: _labview_win_util_32.zip
These 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.
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.
