I need to create a console application that would get the title,
of another Window (Form) application. Then, I would like to
get the caption of a component (buttion) on that application, so
that I can take any action....

I was able to do this in C# with the exception of getting the
caption of a button on that application. Most answers that
I got on C# was that I would need to call some C++ library, etc.
Otherwise, I would need a ManagedSpy (or SPy++) to read the
properties of a running process (or application). I would want
to do this programmatically. And since I was told that this
is possible with only C++, I assume that, it would be possible
in Delphi.

Can you point me to a sample code or the link where I can
find a solution for this kind of application, using Delphi?
I'm currently using Delphi 7.0

Your immediate response to this request would be greatly
appreciated.

Sincerely:

Gbenga
