Altering Program

[stuted]

Hi,
The message i send you was posted at another forum, without any result, so:
the question is, can you alter a programs operation the way you want you to? SO for example, the windows minesweers, timer would freeze, or it would show you where the mines are?
If it can be done? How? Can you give me a brief description? Or some commands what i should use? I am somewhat new to .net programing, i used to have some lessons in c++ but that was far more difficult than vb.net.
Thanks in advance.

In order to take control of an application like that you would need to use the Windows API. For something as simple as launching Minesweeper you could use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(). But if you would then like to manipulate that application you would need to access API calls to perform clicks on certain buttons, sending keystrokes (Hotkeys maybe) to that window, etc.
