I am experimenting with UIAWrappers.au3 from junkew to complete an application which presents absolutely no control information using AutoIT Window Info.  While I am able to complete the form successfully, I am not happy with the speed.  As a benchmark, the simple Send method occurs in far less than 1-second, but the UIAutomation approach takes 3-seconds.  I am wondering whether performance gains may be achieved by specifying the controls more precisely; but I am unsure how to do that.  I was able to speed things up a bit by setting $UIA_DefaultWaitTime=0.  The controls of interest are 5-levels deep, as show in the simplespy output below.  It seems I do get faster response by specifying the target/top-level window, as show in the code below.  Any ideas?

OK,I've made my "Chrome_KeepLastTab.au3" work.This script adds some features to Chrome browser:
1. Double click on a tab to close the tab.
2. Keep last tab:This script monitors your mouse clicks and hotkeys,if you are about to close the last tab within Chrome(click close button on the last tab, middle click/double click on the last tab or press Ctrl + w or Ctrl + {F4}), a new tab will be open and then the old tab be closed.

No mater I set #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=Y or #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=N, this script works very well on hotkey event, while mouse clicks sometimes works if #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=N and sometimes works on Y. Can some one test this and finger out what's wrong?
Info from SciTe if #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=Y :
