Accessing a non-.Net app's UI from .Net

Hi Group,

Is there any way that a .Net application can interact with the windows
UI of a non-.Net application? For example if I had a Java application
with a button on it's UI, is there any way to click that button
from .Net?

I don't think so dude.

They're used to be some company (circa 2002) that would allow Enterprise
Beans and Microsoft to interact.
But that was a long time ago when people thought Java was going to take over
the world.

Gui? I don't think so or can't imagine it.

Webservices were kinda developed to provide a way for heterogeneous
applications to talk.
But you're talking a very strange situation.

I'd bark up another tree.
