I recently tried using autoit and found it interesting.  Unfortunately it 
wasn't able to do everything I wanted to do with out a lot of extra work, or 
at least learning a new programming language (the special dialect of basic 
used by autoit).  I did a little research to see if there was an easier way 
and found the Microsoft UI Automation Library.

For my app I wound up using the c# and the.net framework which contains an 
automation framework (system.windows.automation).  If I were developing the 
same app in Ada I would either use A# or create a binding to the Microsoft 
UI Automation Library using GnatCOM.
