AutoIt Window Information Tool

[KostjaStern]

Good day!

I was wondering how the Window Information Tool works, and I wrote my version it (https://github.com/KostjaStern/WinInfo)
but I could not understand how found the value  Instance (http://screencast.com/t/95wosDmml4)

 

I just noticed that if I change the edit fields of advertisement in a resource file that will change accordingly and  values Instance

LANGUAGE LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL
IDD_MAIN DIALOG 0, 0, 280, 300
STYLE DS_CENTER | DS_SHELLFONT | WS_CAPTION | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP | WS_THICKFRAME | WS_SYSMENU
EXSTYLE WS_EX_TOPMOST
CAPTION "WinInfo"
MENU IDR_MENU1
FONT 8, "Ms Shell Dlg"
{
    GROUPBOX        "Basic Window Info", IDC_STATIC1, 5, 5, 270, 43
    LTEXT           "Title:", IDC_STATIC, 14, 17, 16, 8, SS_LEFT
    EDITTEXT        IDC_EDIT3, 57, 59, 158, 12, ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_READONLY
    EDITTEXT        IDC_EDIT1, 57, 14, 212, 12, ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_READONLY
    EDITTEXT        IDC_EDIT4, 57, 74, 158, 12, ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_READONLY
    LTEXT           "Class:", IDC_STATIC, 15, 32, 20, 8, SS_LEFT
    EDITTEXT        IDC_EDIT2, 57, 30, 212, 12, ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_READONLY
    GROUPBOX        "Finder Tool", IDC_STATIC2, 227, 50, 48, 43, BS_NOTIFY
    GROUPBOX        "Basic Control Info", IDC_STATIC, 5, 50, 215, 43
    LTEXT           "Class:", IDC_STATIC, 16, 60, 20, 8, SS_LEFT
    LTEXT           "ID:", IDC_STATIC, 15, 74, 10, 8, SS_LEFT
    CONTROL         "", IDC_STATIC3, WC_STATIC, SS_BITMAP | SS_NOTIFY, 233, 61, 32, 25
    CONTROL         "", IDC_TAB1, WC_TABCONTROL, 0, 5, 100, 270, 195
}

IDC_EDIT3 => Instance = 1 , IDC_EDIT1 => Instance = 2 , IDC_EDIT4 => Instance = 3 , IDC_EDIT2 => Instance = 4

 

P.S. Sorry for my english

The instance number is most likely based on the order Windows enumerates the controls.
