How to get Control handle and wintitle @mouse location?

[E1M1]

How do I get win title and controlID which is at mouse location?I want something like autoit window info, but simplified version. I need it to be function and it must work so it finds out on which window is mouse (title) and 2nd return value must be control handle.

example:

My mouse Coords are x=500 and y=600, and Notepad window is there then it must return something like.

$value[0] "Untitled - Notepad"

$value[1] "0x00210226"

But there is 1 problem.I have no idea how to do it.

Take a look at _WinAPI_WindowFromPoint().

[E1M1]

#Include <WinAPI.au3>
sleep(3000)
$tPoint = MouseGetPos()
MsgBox(1,1,_WinAPI_WindowFromPoint($tPoint))

instead of notepad handle it returns SciTE handle :S

Whats wrong?

EDIT: and even if I know window title, I still don't know Control handle

Smoke_N gave a good example here: how to get the GUI the mouse is hovering over ?

I modified it to use the WinAPI UDF functions and also display the Control handle/Class...

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
