I haven't played with AutoIt for a while, so I'm kind of rusty. I always
used the AutoIt control. When I last used AutoIt, I would use it to wait
until some desired window opened, partially by AutoIt's searching for some
specified string displayed in the window. Then I would have AutoIt move the
cursor to the desired spot on the screen and click the desired spot or use
SendKeys to insert the string.
Read AutoIt's online documentation at
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/. One section you will especially
want to read is using the AutoIt Window Info Tool and the rest of the Using
AutoIt section should give you the rest of the info you need.
