Your ANYGUI signature got me to understand the concept (very well put together, btw ), but what I am trying to do is get the ControlID for an object that I didn't create and that is automatically made when the program starts what I'm trying to do is all user-based. I'm not trying to create my own GUI, I'm trying to read others.

I really just need a way to find the ControlID of an object (such as a textbox) so i can read what's typed into the object, compare what was read to text I have in another file, and then create a logfile of whether they matched or didn't.

Both good suggestions, however, the coordinates of the window change every time it is initialized, and the ClassName changes as well as the ControlID... what's a guy to do? Is there a way to tell the control a proposed coordinate from say, the top left corner of the window? so instead of it being a coordinate from the entire screen, it measures the x and y values from the corner of the currently active window? (if this isn't possible now, I think this should definitely be implemented somewhere in a future version)

alright, thank you very much

I'm new to scripting (just started learning yesterday) Is it possible to start my computer with a script, so that when the internal clock hits...say, 3:00am...the computer boots itself?

Hello, I am new to AutoIT (just got it yesterday) and I am already loving it, but I am having a little trouble. I am trying to automate my way through a program, but I do not wish to use the MouseClick command. I am trying to use the ControlClick command, however, the ControlID on the object I need to click on is dynamic and it changes everytime the program runs. I am wondering if there is a script that can be written to get the ControlID of an object and return it in a variable that I can place in the ControlClick command... for example: Dim $CtrlID *YayGetTheControlIDScript* ControlClick("Management Form", "", "$CtrlID") can this be done? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
