There is new version of UI Verify 2.0 this is little better than existing 1.0. Yesterday we tried on XP it was able to find UI element which was not recognized by version 1.0
Though I have experienced some problem in Win7 (that I guess can be suppressed (Menu: Tests->Filter Known Problems), try it hope it will give good control over finding UI elements.

If you have not tried this version, try it.

Microsoft Win32 to Microsoft .NET Framework API Map

In this article, the Microsoft® Win32® functions are organized by category. Each Win32 function that is listed belongs to only one category, and each category is presented in its own table. An alphabetical list of the Win32 categories is provided, as well as a hierarchical list. To locate a Win32 function, select the appropriate category from one of the category lists or search the article for the name of the function. If you do not find the Win32 function that you are seeking, it means that no equivalent .NET Framework API exists in the .NET Framework version 1.0 or 1.1 or that the Win32 function and the relevant .NET Framework API were inadvertently omitted from the list.
