need help with controlID

[jsteng]

using this example script as reference:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    ; Run Notepad
    Run("notepad.exe")

    ; Wait 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear.
    Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)

    ; Set the edit control in Notepad with some text. The handle returned by WinWait is used for the "title" parameter of ControlSetText.
    ControlSetText($hWnd, "", "Edit1", "This is some text")

    ; Retrieve the text of the edit control in Notepad. The handle returned by WinWait is used for the "title" parameter of ControlGetText.
    Local $sText = ControlGetText($hWnd, "", "Edit1")

    ; Display the text of the edit control.
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The text in Edit1 is: " & $sText)

    ; Close the Notepad window using the handle returned by WinWait.
    WinClose($hWnd)
EndFunc   ;==>Example

How do I know "Edit1" is a controlID from Notepad?  What are the other controlID used by Notepad?

To be more specific, How do I get to know controlID used by a specified window handle from WinList()?
 

I hope I expressed my question properly.

many thanks.

The full SCITE editor for AutoIt, as opposed to the Lite version that comes with the AutoIt installer, comes with a set of tools.  One of those tools is AU3Info.  It is very helpful in showing the information you are after.

Here's where the full editor can be downloaded:

https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit-script-editor/downloads/

And the screen shot below shows where the tools can be found in the editor:

Once Au3Info is running, just drag the Finder Tool over the window or control of interest to see all of the related info,
