How to open a specific bloomberg terminal page programmatically?

Is there a reliable way to open a specific bloomberg terminal page programmatically (e.g. "MSFT Equity")?

I am open to any suggestions and code samples:

  • Start process with path to bloomberg terminal executable and ticker in the arguments
  • Bloomberg API
  • DDE
  • COM Automation
  • SendKeys (can be blocked by some antivirus software)
  • ...

Many thanks

A: 

You can use javascript to create an ActiveX object new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application"). From this you can use DDE to access an open Bloomberg Terminal Window DDEInitiate("Winblp", "bbk") and send it a command.
