With C#, is it possible to basically take in an activex object and get the data out of it? I have a call queue monitor thats an activex object, and I want to implement an alert system for my team, but I cant figure out how to get the data out of the ActiveX component.
If the component doesn't provide a specific way to do it, then probably not easily. If the data is in controls on the screen (like in a window somewhere) then you can possibly use win32 functionality (FindWindow, GetWindowText, so pInvoke) to locate the controls that have the data. You'd need to use Spy++ to find the controls in the window and determine their Class Name and Window Name to do the FindWindow.
Here's one example from SO:

I am trying to catch all messages that receive another program. As I understand I need to use WinApi hooks, specifically WH_MSGFILTER, but I dont know how to install it properly. Can someone show me complete C# program using different WinApi hooks?
Hooks like that require a DLL that can be injected into another process. You cannot write such a DLL in C#, you cannot get the CLR injected. Only the low-level hooks can work, they don't require injection.
Check this project for an alternative. No idea how solid it is btw.
A process hook to another program requires a native dll (except for keyboard and mouse hooks). Can't be done in C#.

I have built an asp.net website and a C# desktop application. My client requires me to embed the C# app into a the website. I am aware that, this is only possible with the windows control library.
I gave it a try on that! But, that too didnt work out. It didnt work out on IE browser too.
Could anyone help me out on this?
1 You can register such as ActiveX control in .Net, and call this component from Web Application.

2 You can convert to Sylverlight Application
3 You can also just call Process, in order to access features

I want to create an application which can copy the tool tip (the tool tips which are shown on the current desktop/window) if I press hot keys. So how can I track whether the current desktop having a tool tip.
First, its not possible to use the Managed.Net API to access windows in other applications so you will have to do somthing a bit different.
I guess you could use the Win32 API to enumerate windows and find those of the class Tooltip_Class32. Then you'd have to read the text on them.
You can enum windows as described on SO here and on PInvoke.net here.
If you limit to just the Tooltip_Class32 then you will only get the tool tip windows.
I'm not sure how windows contructs a tool tip. I'm guessing you can read the text from the tool tip or from some child control window by using the SendMessage API with the WM_GETTEXT message like here.
That should get you started, I've never actually done it myself but it seems feasible.

i want the ability to create a UI designer (Winforms/WPF/UI/User interface type agnostic).
The requirment is that it should be possible to add properties to a device and it should automatically turn up in the UI.The addition of properties would be via a admin screen.
eg. there is a UI object called Order.It should be possible to add a property called ordersoomething to the order object from the admin screen and it should automatically reflect in the User interface.
i am looking for something that is already available (Open Source/existing stuff etc).
Edit based on a couple if comments.
What i mean by UI agnostic is that i am looking for a architectural pattern. That would fit well.it should not matter if it is Webforms or Silverlight or Winforms.

Since you tagged this C#, make sure you know about VS LightSwitch
There is a DevExpress Application Frameowrk, something called XAF, see the Developer Express website, it's not for free but not too expensive considering what you are asking, I am not sure if it only targets WindowForms...
