yep steve, my understanding is this is very common.
was talking to the snowman yesterday about this, and he's got tools in his
JLS utilities to test a window and let you know if it's gunna have
non-unique control ID's, making them obviously useless for window
identification.
just piping up to say your experience is normative, but of course can't give
you the good dirt on what to do to get around it. except by seeking to next
try other methods for grabbing the unique information desired. hierarchy I
believe, is one of them.
Jim's Jls utilities I discovered yesterday as he demonstrated them to me,
also have a neat feature where you put your focus in one window, your jaws
cursor in another, then hit a hotkey and it will seek to generate the code
for you, to traverse the window hierarchy to get from one to the other etc.
which may be of use to you as well.
