It is not able to identify all Button from other Software

[Daniel]

For example, Au3Info is not able to identify the "Load"-button from the Software "PuTTY". The Version 3.3.6.1 from Au3Info also can not identify that button. The Version 3.3.4.0 from A3uInfo can identify that button from "PuTTY" and work fine. So it must be a bug in Version 3.3.7.15 and 3.3.6.1 from Au3Info.

To add more observations:

• The problem actually varies depending on the Spy++ mode.
  • Spy++ mode on: Nothing seems to update, it always shows "Button14" for me and the same control ID no matter what.
  • Spy++ mode off: I still see "Button14" for everything but the control ID updates as I mouse over controls (I didn't verify if the ID is correct, only that it changed).
• The Putty configuration window makes use of group-boxes which I believe may be what is throwing everything off.
• Turning on control highlighting helps show what is actually being inspected. It seems impossible or at least incredibly difficult to highlight any control that is contained in a group box. It always wants to highlight the box instead.

There is definitely a bug here.

Au3Info 3.3.8.0 and 3.3.9.5.
If uncheck option Use Spy++ Control Detection Logic then properties on Control tab: Class, Instance, ClassnameNN, Advanced Mode aren't updated.
And tabs StatusBar and ToolBar always display only first 10 items, no more.

With Spy++ mode on, identifies INSTANCE's in MeGUI open file
buttons ("..." buttons) on main form as instances 4,5, 10,11 and 12.

whereas in Autoit, ID's start from 1.

Assume that Spy++, examine internal ID number and perhaps some items of an
array/arrays that were deleted and so ID's are no longer valid and mismatched.

As about Group controls.
Maybe some new option "Ignore Group Box controls" ON/OFF should be added to Au3Info.
It can optionally exclude controls with classname Button and with window's style BS_GROUPBOX.
