Manipulate Windows Forms?

[Bluscream]

I searched a while now but I came to no acceptable results. I'm searching for a way to manipulate forms of windows applications. Like removing/hiding elements for example.

Something like

System.Diagnostics.getProcessByName("Teamviewer.exe").getWindowByClassName("TaskHostWindow").pictureBox1.hide();

I wonder if it's possible and if yes, is it kind of framework restricted? (Only .NET)

Usually it's get a pointer to the parent object (QApplication or window for example) and go from there.

I've noticed that ShareX is able to identify different objects in almost any application.
P.S. I need this info for https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/1486

Well the code-base seems big
Should be in there https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX/tree/master/ShareX.ScreenCaptureLib ?

In a more general note I guess you could hook GDI but I'm may be talking shit as I don't know much about the way windows APIs work
