There is a simple application that works in Windows. It has very simple interface: squre window with buttons in fixed coordinates.

I need to write a program that makes use of this application: to launch it and to click one of buttons (let’s say invoke a click at (150,200)).

Is there any way to do it in Java or .NET?
