Can we get a handle of any .exe file running in Windows using m-scripts ?

If there is a program running in VB++ or in C-Sharp or in Java , Is it possible to do any kind of automation with them, using M-scripts ?

If there is a GUI in c-Sharp with buttons , can I get its handle ( as we get of MATLAB GUI) and at a regular interval make that button toggle ( ON/OFF) ?

Is MATLAB scripting feasible enough ?

Generally speaking, it is NOT always possible. But it all depends on the way the other interface was programmed.

This would be much easier in C# directly...

You can let the java robot move the mouse and click it programmatically. But this is not convenient and the user might be annoyed by loosing control over the mouse.
