RaiMan posted a new comment:
ok tested your exe and it works.
To use it programmatically, it should accept commandline parameters.

- opened a Notepad++ window and put it behind other windows (background)
- used the exe, that produced an image of the app window (test.png)

then I used the following script, to test that test.png can be found,
when the app window is visible:

app = App("Notepad++")
app.focus()
regWin = App.focusedWindow()
img = "test.png"
imgExe = Image.create(img)
print "fromExe:", imgExe
print "notepad:", regWin

print regWin.find(imgExe)

--- output:
fromExe: I[test.png(1899x625)]
notepad: R[6,4 1914x684 (neu 1 - Notepad++)]@S(0)
M[14,55 1899x625]IN(0) %99,85 C(963,367) [147/147 msec]

So your approach works, to get the window content of not fully visible
windows.

I still do not understand the intention of your SendMessage usage in the
beginning. What is it good for?

--- The only problem now is how to send keyboard and mouse input to a background application.
I do not have any experience with the Windows API, so if the net does not jnow a solution, I cannot help.
