What's the program if you don't mind me asking?

EDIT: Also, the AutoIt window info tool will be your best friend. :)

Look up the _GUICtrlTab_ActivateTab function in the help file.  Use the window info tool as described by MikahS to help determine the control instance then look at the ControlGetHandle function in the help file to learn how to programmatically obtain the handle needed.

What to do if the window info tool doesn't  give back any control on the tabs? I had a similar problem a while back with an updated program. I danced around the problem reather ungracefully by moving the window to 0,0 resizeing it to the size it appeared to my computer then mouseclick in said coordinates to achive what I wanted.
