C# beginner question about automation

Question

What i want to do is make a program that responds to a different program. If a box pops up i want my program to respond to that box that popped up. If i get a connection drop from the program i would like my program to auto matically reconnect and click on the proper button. This is what i am trying to learn but not sure what book to read or where to get more information about how to do this. The program does not have a SDK or any code that can be revealed at all. So i decided to try and make it automated as if i was there in front of the computer doing the work. If anyone can point me in the right direction or help me out in anyway i would appreciate it. Thank you.

Answer 1

you are in for some very hefty work.  you are looking to do some pretty advanced things.

you will need to read up on the Windows API.  That is going to be the only way that your solution *may* work.
