I am having a problem. I have a LabVIEW application that does many automated test and programming tasks on a product. On of the programming tasks is to copy an image file into a SOM that has an imx6 processor. To accomplish this, the processor is placed into a mode where it appears as a USB drive on Windows, This all works and LabVIEW can then call a c CLI using the sys exec VI to send the image file to the apparent USB drive. However, when the apparent USB drive open, Windows display the usual messages about what shall it do with the drive, etc.. All of these massaged appear under the explorer.exe task. I want to close them all from LabVIEW. SO:
1. I can wait until the system is programmed, then open a command prompt (not the sys exec)
2. I can type into the command prompt, taskkill /F /IM exporer.exe && explorer.exe
This works. Note than if I do not use the /F then the messages do not close. With the /F all the little windows messages close up and my PC continues to work normally.
If I send the same command using the LabVIEW sys exec, the Windows messages close, but I am left with a black screen with only LabVIEW visible and working. Nothing else is on the screen. I must then reboot my PC to get things back to normal.
I have seen ides based on bring the explorer.exe window to the front and then attempting to press the Cancel button programmatically, but it does not work, and I am not sure how to pick which button to push as I cannot set the focus on the Windows message.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sid Levingston
