Hi,
I have faced this problem before. A wonderful API that windows includes is the SendMessage command. With this you can click buttons, get active/online users, check active logged on user, and do just about anything you need to do.
The SendMessage command is used in conjunction with many others such as FindWindow, FindWindowEx, and for getting active windows there is GetWindowText and GetWindowTextLength. Along with the API calls use the WM_* declarations. All of them are listed in the API viewer with VB.
If you need more information consult: www.msdn.microsoft.com (Microsoft Developer's Network)
or VB-World also has some examples.
Hope this helps!
