I want to write an application that records data from another program.
For example, the other program has visible captions containing numbers 
that are visible.  I would like my program to be able to read those 
numbers and store them in a file periodically.

What is the best thing to start to look at to be able to do this?

Google the phrase "screen scraper".  That should get you started.
