Hi Everyone,
I'm having problems getting my AutoIt script to interact with an application's control when I attempt to use ControlSend.
As far as I can tell using the Window Info tool, the ID of the control keeps changing to a unique number every time the program is launched. This makes coding the ID number seem like an impossible task or perhaps I don't know what I'm doing.
I've tried the usual Google search, Help File search, Forum search, playing around with different code options like changing function inputs and even using Send (which doesn't work).
Can anyone please shed some light on how I'm using ControlSend because I'm sure I'm missing something but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Console:

Thank you for any help.
