:Advanced Window Descriptions 
A special description can be used as the window title parameter. This description can be used to identify a window by the following properties:
TITLE - Window title 
CLASS - The internal window classname 
REGEXPTITLE - Window title using a regular expression (if the regular expression is wrong @error will be set to 2) 
REGEXPCLASS - Window classname using a regular expression (if the regular expression is wrong @error will be set to 2) 
LAST - Last window used in a previous AutoIt command 
ACTIVE - Currently active window 
X \ Y \ W \ H - The position and size of a window 
INSTANCE - The 1-based instance when all given properties match \
>example
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad]", "")
>Use handle
$handle = WinGetHandle("Untitled - Notepad", "")
WinClose($handle)

:Controls, treat the controls on the window
Have these properties
ID - The internal control ID. The Control ID is the internal numeric identifier that windows gives to each control. It is generally the best method of identifying controls. In addition to the AutoIt Window Info Tool, other applications such as screenreaders for the blind and Microsoft tools/APIs may allow you to get this Control ID 
TEXT - The text on a control, for example "&Next" on a button 
CLASS - The internal control classname such as "Edit" or "Button" 
CLASSNN - The ClassnameNN value as used in previous versions of AutoIt, such as "Edit1" 
NAME - The internal .NET Framework WinForms name (if available) 
REGEXPCLASS - Control classname using a regular expression 
X \ Y \ W \ H - The position and size of a control. 
INSTANCE - The 1-based instance when all given properties match. 
>Use the control functions
ControlSend("Untitled - Notepad", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "This is some text")
ControlClick("My Window", "", "[ID:254]")
ControlGetHandle(titile, text, controlID)
