I am looking for a lightweight solution that would allow me to detect which form/ dialog is open in an application, then emit some keystrokes / mouse moves and clicks. I do not have control over (nor the source-code for) the application.

In case anybody is curious, in the end I decided to use Microsoft UI Automation. Here is nice intro:
