Hello marwanco,

Thank you for posting your question in the forums.

Ranorex uses C# and VB, and it builds console applications that are your automated tests, so anything you do in Ranorex has the full ability of desktop programming and .NET, so you can easily include libraries or references that plug previously written code into your project effectively giving you limitless possibilities.

Here is an article on programming Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) types of communication into an application:

I hope this information is helpful to you, and I look forward to your response.
