As other suggested you first need the win32all extensions.
Then you should have a look at the following API calls (you propably won't
need all of them):

GetWindow
GetDesktopWindow
GetParent
FindWindow
GetTopWindow
GetNextWindow
GetWindowText
GetWindowExtEx

and for finally clicking the Button (once you found it):

SendMessage
or
PostMessage

in conjunction with the WM_CLICK message

All the above should be documented fairly extensive on MSDN
