Subject: Re: AutoIt: HWnd function of AutoIt giving method missing error

Hi Siep,

Thanks a lot for the reply. You are right that WinGetHandle or 
ControlGetHandle should do the trick for me. But my requirement is to 
use one of these handles to set text or do the click operation. What I 
want to do is this:

appID = autoIt.WinGetHandle("Untitled -Notepad")
autoIt.ControlSetText(appID,"","Edit1","This is a text")

I want to use title argument only once to fetch the window handle and 
then subsequently use the window handle to perform other actions of 
setting text or click. Is it possible to avoid 'title' argument and use 
a Window Handle instead?
My concern is that if there are more than 1 instance of say "Notepad", 
the title of all the instances of notepad would be the same but the 
Window Handle would be unique for each instance, and hence would be a 
good option to use for performing actions.

Is there any way out to do the above step and avoid "title" as the first 
argument?

Thanks,
Anukul
