Finding any window and placing text in it

[MikeBAM]

I would like to make a feature on my program that you can drag a pointer into a text box on another window or program and set text into that window. Then I want to hit the enter key on that text box. Well, I probably could figure that part out. But I don't know how to get the exact object.

Can anyone help me out with this?

This is how to indentify a window that is clicked on. Listboxes are windows.
