Run an external program and control the "buttons" in GUI

I am trying to run an external program through MATLAB. By doing as written below I managed to open the program GUI. Now I would like to control the buttons that appear in the GUI. So my question is, how can I do so?

!AKPA6.exe &

Hello,
I have the same problem! Did you manage to solve?
@Gonçalo Guedes: Sorry, but usually the buttons are controlled by pressing them with the mouse. So please elaborate, what you want to do with details.
The java.awt.robot allows to move the mouse an to simulate clicks on the mouse buttons. AutoHotKey is a tool to controll GUIs also.
