Author AutoIT3 question ?

I am evaluating test tools to develop an automated test suite for a
GUI application. I came across with AutoIT3 which is capable of
Windows based GUI testing. I have following questions about AutoIT3's
capability for a test environment and requirements as below:

Application under test description:
1) GUI application runs on Windows XP (or may be in Vista)
2) This application is developed in XAML and C# on WPF (Windows
Presentation Foundation)
3) It is a standalone application (say, myGUIApp.exe) which can be
invoked either from DOS console or mouse click
4) After starting the application, it asks user to enter user ID and
password in two text fields on its first page
5) After authentication, the main page appears with all its interface
buttons and fields for further user actions

Questions:
1) Can I automate the no. 4 event above by AutoIT3 ?
2) As this application using .NET (WPF), does AutoIT3 supports it ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

AutoIT is a good tool but since you are already working in .NET it
would be a good idea to try Microsoft UI Automation which comes
with .NET 3.0 and is specifically designed for UI automation.
You can find it in System.Windows.Automation
