VB and/or API monitoring of an applications objects properties

[dschommer]

Is there a way to monitor or access a standalone or OLE capable application's local objects properties? In other words; can I monitor or change the properties of, let's say, a Label1.Caption property or any of it's other properties contained in another third party application.<br>
I have looked for a function in VB and the Windows API to do this but it is not evident to me.<br>
<br>
Example: My program would be executing as a standalone task and if I click on any object in any other application i would like to see a list of that objects property settings.

There is a API program that came with VB (as a sample) a while ago.<br>
It allowed you to click on any running application and get its handle and several other parameters.<br>
