//WindowFromPoint is the most reliable. It skips really transparent top-level windows (TL). Unfortunately it skips disabled controls (but not TL).
//ChildWindowFromPointEx with CWP_SKIPINVISIBLE|CWP_SKIPTRANSPARENT skips all with WS_EX_TRANSPARENT, although without WS_EX_LAYERED they aren't actually transparent.
//RealChildWindowFromPoint does not skip transparent TL. It works like ChildWindowFromPointEx(CWP_SKIPINVISIBLE).
//None of the above API prefers a really visible control that is under a transparent part of a sibling control. RealChildWindowFromPoint does it only for group buttons, but not for tab controls etc.
//All API skip windows that have a hole etc in window region at that point.
//None of the API uses WM_NCHITTEST+HTTRANSPARENT. Tested only with TL of other processes.
//AccessibleObjectFromPoint.get_Parent in most cases gets the most correct window/control, but it is dirty, unreliable and often very slow, because sends WM_GETOBJECT etc.
//speed:
//RealChildWindowFromPoint is the fastest.
//ChildWindowFromPointEx is slower.
//WindowFromPoint is 4 times slower; .Window does not make significantly slower.
//AccessibleObjectFromPoint.get_Parent often is of RealChildWindowFromPoint speed, but often much slower than all others.
//IUIAutomation.FromPoint very slow. Getting window handle from it is not easy, > 0.5 ms.
