Look into using the Microsoft accessibility layer. MSAA (older) and UIA (newer) are two accessibility APIs provided by Windows for accessibility tools (screen readers, etc) to get at and modify the UI on screen. This makes them very useful for other things, like testing, screen scraping, etc. They are well-documented on MSDN, for hwnd UIs everything starts with WM_GETOBJECT.
