Possible, but not practicle.

Controlling another application is not easy, and getting the window contents RELIABLY is even harder. There are no events to subscribe to, so you'll have to poll and get the contents of the window continuously, then parse it, looking for your message(s). You'll also have to keep track of what you've already seen, what you've sounded your alarm on (or whatever your doing), and what alarms have been acknolwedged.

You'd be better off writing your own terminal application. Though, at your skill level, either of these is going to be very difficult for you to do.

Solution 2

The best thing to do would be to write the serial communications yourself, instead of relying on window handles etc.
