Inputting Text into a Windows Form

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to;
1) Find the name of the form that currently has focus
2) Find the names of any textboxes, and buttons on that form
3) How to input text and press the buttons on that form

I've been trying to do research with no luck - I guess I don't know the proper terminology to Google for. The closest I've gotten is that this is probably done through the win api or Active X - and as a .NET programmer I don't know much about either.

I know how to access text boxes on a web form – but I recently had an experience with a program that could access windows forms and I have some great uses for this functionality.

Where do I need to start looking? Any .NET examples would be great!

Thanks for the help!!
 
If you're looking for .net examples, you might want to post this on the VB.Net forum, or the C# forum.
