Hi Steve, Yes. I have found this. And when I did, about the only thing I had to go on was WindowHierarchyX and WindowHierarchyY, which gives window position relative to the application window, to help me figure out what window I was in. That can be brutal to code.

Has anyone ever encountered the following? I have a program that does not assign non-varying control ID's to its controls and other windows. In fact, what it does do is to assign the window handle, whatever it is, as the control ID for that window. It also has assigned the same name for every single control in the program. This make scripting most impossible from everything I've learned about how to make decisions based on what control the application cursor is on, since the information is not something to be counted on because it always changes. ANyone ever find this? __________?
