Re: Automating User Input
Bob may have much of what you are asking for. Many years ago I made a form filling stack. The user clicked on various controls an/or images, and either a popup of available options or a dialog appeared. It worked as if each image, say, was its own popUp. Once the selection was made, the user was brought to the next step. If that step sequence was not hard-coded, it was left to the user to select that next step. Not sure about your UI, but this sort of thing is simple to implement in LC.

Automating User Input
I'm writing an app that needs to complete a couple of forms that are being displayed by a browser as if the user was doing it interactively. This is to save the user from having to enter complex medical terms. If the user were to interact directly with the browser, they could press the tab key repeatedly to move from file to field, checkbox to checkbox etc. I'd like my app to do the same tabbing etc. instead of my user who could sit back and watch the form being completed interactively! Any idea whether this is possible and if so how? Thanks.
