Native Teststand application operated over API calls

Hi All, 

is it possible to open TestStand  application and operate all its features through API calls (C#)?

There is some example which uses Microsoft Winfows Forms as a simple User Interface. But I want to programmatically open the native Teststand  aplication so it is visible on screen and operate it via calls to API interop.

Is this possible? If yes, how to do it in C#?

Thanks

Michael
