Alot of programs just use simple windows SendMessage calls to set text, press buttons, etc

i.e.
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)"Set some text foo");

FindWindow can be used to find windows (FindWindowEx to find the child windows)

(also try to keep the subject of your threads related to the content...Thanks :) )

See "Window Functions" in MSDN.

I expect you'll need
FindWindow
EnumChildWindows
ShowWindow
GetWindowText

Look at Microsoft Spy++ for some of the things you can do.
