Control ID is returned by GuiCtrlCreate or is a control from another application?

You can get a list of the classes in a window with WinGetClassList, see this function by MrCreatoR to list a window's controls.

You can get the handle of a control from its id or its class name using ControlGetHandle.

Seeing that there is no [HANDLE; hwnd here] control option for the id parameter ....

Func _ControlGetID($h_wnd)
    Local $a_GetDlgCtrlID = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "GetDlgCtrlID")
    If Not @error And $a_GetDlgCtrlID[0] > 0 Then Return $a_GetDlgCtrlID[0]
    Return SetError(1, 0, "")
EndFunc

That could fail if the control doesn't have an id though... so you may want to look at using the ClassNameNN as they suggested above.

Not sure about their functions, but I wrote one that enums a window and gathers that info using WinGetClassList().

Edit:

After all this time, you still learn things.

I was just informed by Valik that you can in fact use the controls handle in the identifier parameter. Don't ever remember reading that as an option... tested and works (as if I had doubts).

Your function return same thing like _WinAPI_GetDlgCtrlID()?

I'm sure... I forget about the api functions... could make life easier on myself huh ...

I get an error with autoit: there was an error in autoit3.exe. the application will be closed.

You declared a Local thingy vice a Global doohicky in line 637g.

How many times are we going to have to point that out to people...

[oMBRa]

what u mean?

It was an attempt at humorous sarcasm, which must be considered a failure when that has to be pointed out...

The point was, without explaining exactly what you did, and perhaps showing the code you did it with, or a short snippet of code that does the same thing, we can't help.
