Mike,
If you are looking to get it for an AutoIt function you can get it by
using the utility in AutoIt that lets you explore the IDs of windows
and elements. You basically just point the cursor at the element and
it tells you all about it.
It has been quite a while since I used it the one time to get the info
for the Parameters Window and the Preferences Window. That is the
extent of my experience with it -- just enough to get the job done.
BR,
Dennis
