I dont know why so many peaople want to control other applications. They're looking like officials - control others but never get anything themselves in line.
Regards.

What you want to do?

Some applications have an interface to control them (IDispatch) and can
run as server-app in your process.
Otherwise you can control the application by sending WM_COMMAND messages
from an injected module (dll by hook) thats not good at all.
Some older applications can be controlled by sending DDE messages.
