Native Control Identification and Property Retrieval using Active Acessibility

I request this understanding that it may be outside of AutoIT's intended purpose and that implementation may be prohibitively lengthy/difficult. But, "you have not because you ask not."

Control ID Descriptions should include options for accName, accRole, child index, and an optional Root handle to aid in expediting tree traversing.

Examples:

; Click on the VMWare Server list item 
$msaaControl = ControlClick( "Add or Remove Programs", "", "[NAME:VMWare Server;ROLE:listitem;ROOT:0x00050496]" )

; Click on all list items
$count = ControlCommand( "Add or Remove Programs", "", "[NAME:Add or Remove Programs]", "GetChildrenCount", "" )
For $i = 1 to $count
   $role = ControlCommand( "Add or Remove Programs", "", "[NAME:Add or Remove Programs]", "GetRole", $i )
   if ( $role = "listitem" ) then
      ControlClick( "Add or Remove Programs", "", "NAME:Add or Remove Programs];CHILD:" & $i & "]" )
   endif
Next

Title correction:
should read "Accessibility"

Code example correction:

; Click on all list items
$count = ControlCommand( "Add or Remove Programs", "", "[NAME:Add or Remove Programs]", "GetChildrenCount", "" )
For $i = 1 to $count
   $role = ControlCommand( "Add or Remove Programs", "", "[NAME:Add or Remove Programs]", "GetRole", $i )
   if ( $role = "listitem" ) then
      ControlClick( "Add or Remove Programs", "", "[NAME:Add or Remove Programs;CHILD:" & $i & "]" )
   endif
Next

I believe that objects implementing accessibility functionality do so via a COM interface that is IDispatch enabled. In short, that means you should be able to, in some manner or other, access it via AutoIt's COM functionality.

I don't see this being built-in.
