Can AutoIt work on different language OS?

[h711]

Hi, I am new to Autoit and have some basic questions about it.

1, I need to automate an installer application. It need to be run on different native language OS. Instead of using title names and button names, can I use handle ID to automate it? This way, the same program can work on different language OS.

2, Is there a screen cap function build with this tool?

By the way, what is the best way to find out handle ID? I use WinSpy to scan it, but the problem is that the ID seems to change every time I restart the application.

Thanks for the help!!!

If you download the full SciTe editor, the window information tool is under "Tools".

Yes, there is a screen capture UDF built in.

You more likely want the ClassNameNN or Class/Instance information. That should be stable each time you run it. The handle will change every time it is run. To use the handles, start from ClassNameNN and then get the handle with ControlGetHandle(), or WinGetHandle().

Look in the help file for more information on identifying windows and controls based on class, instance, etc.
