You can use text instead of controlnn already. I think. Didn't I add that a couple of versions ago? Or is this code slightly different?

You added that... I use special recognizable text when using Au3GuiXP to allow myself to get the classnameNN for a control after its created. On that note, however, I suggest a function that will return the classnameNN of a control. Currently I use ControlFocus then ControlGetFocus gives me the classnameNN.

Oh, sorry about that. I didn't know it was already implemented.

The only difference between this one and the one that's already implemented is that you don't have to specify the "&" as part of the control text.

Once I encountered a button that did not have any letter underlined, even after pressing the Alt key, but did have a "&" in it's text.

otherwise, unless it's already implemented, here's a function to return just the controlNN of a control with a specified text

edit: Function to get the controlNN name (ex. Edit1, Button1) from any control without any control status constrictions (enabled, disabled...etc) and without having to specify the "&" in the control text.

func _controlNN($winName, $winText, $controlName)
$controls    = WinGetClassList($winname, $winText)
$controlsArr = stringSplit($controls,@LF)

for $n = 1 to 30
   for $x = 1 to $controlsArr[0]
      Global $controlNN = $controlsArr[$x] & $n
      $getText = ControlGetText($winName, $winText, $controlNN)
      if ($controlName = stringStripWS(StringReplace($getText,"&",""), 7)) then
        Return $controlNN
      endif
   next
next
Return 0

endfunc

ControlFocus("Window", "Text", "ControlText")

$classnameNN = ControlGetFocus("Window", "text")

That's all you need to get a control's classnameNN form (Won't work on disabled controls, however).
