Reading Windows 'objects'

I use the term ''objects'' not in the context of a programming but in the actual UI, like a button or the tool bar. For example if I click on the ''Start'' button windows knows I clicked there. Now if anyone has ever seen an automated test tool they would know what I''m talking about ''Winrunner'' is the most prominent. What I need to do is be able to read these objects and the objects in a webbrowser. I want to be able to have my program record and then the user goes out and clicks around on stuff in their browser, radio buttons, links and such and then be able to record the interaction between the user and the server and then rerun these actions using the WebBrowser Control. Thanks, Tbach
