Pressing an "external" button - Visual Basic .NET

Thijs

Hello,

I´ve got a question regarding controlling an external app. I´m writing
a vb.NET app that, at some point, needs to push a button in an
external app. This external app has no API whatsoever. Is there a way
to do this? I guess I have to raise a ButtonX_click event in the other
app, but I don´t know how to do that, nor do I know how to even find
the name of this ButtonX.

Does anyone have a clue as how to do this?

Kind regards,
Thijs (the Netherlands)

Look at the answer to the post "detecting other a window" a few messages ago.
The same approach is necessary.
