Using JSON-RPC getting the label of the currently selected item in the GUI is possible through XBMC.GetInfoLabels using the System.CurrentControl label but I don't really recommend using it as XBMC.GetInfoLabels is deprecated. Getting the labels of any other GUI items is not really possible through JSON-RPC and I wouldn't hold my breath for it to be ever available.
AFAIK xbmc already has some LCD support (for linux at least) so it might be worth looking at if it is possible to tap into that part of the code.

Ah OK,
The Problem is, I'm using a Windows machine. Linux is not an option because I use Eventghost which is a Windows only tool. As far as I see, you are using "LCDProc" for your LCD support.
On Windows I want to use "LCD smartie", and i already have a working addon with JSON-RPC for this tool. The only thing is missing, is this GUI thing. Are there any other possibilities to get the GUI information?

Edit1: But is it possible to get these GUI Info thorugh an Addon? LCDsmartie is able to get information through a Socket. So this looks like a possible solution...
What do you mean?
Edit2: is it possible to get the GUI Info through the old HTTP Interface?

I absolutely know that there is no way through JSON-RPC and HTTP-API to get anything else than the label of the current window and the current label. I'm not 100% if this applies to addons as well but I think it does. So you'd be stuck with only being able to display the label of the currently active item/button/...
