Focus may change because of many reasons (other app. activity, system popup, user interference, etc.) There is no simple way to find a window with particular relation to already known window in terms of child/parent/sibling/owner of any level, also, verifying window class and other properties. That's pretty easy to implement by verifying each window in Z-chain against specified properties and relations. I want to be 100% sure AutoIt clicks the button (or sends keystrokes to the window) it was programmed to. Bottom line: util window identification becomes reliable, AutoIT is just a dangerous toy, unsuitable to serious applications. BTW, ""special treatment"" of controls creates unnecessary limitations, as controls are just windows with specific relations to the parent/owner. " Feature Request closed AutoIt Rejected
