2208	ControlGetText not working on calculator	anonymous		"Win7 64 bits mode (and 32 bits mode)

Unable to get text of (static) control. Reproduced with below code on calculator.
I believe this is due to changed behaviour of WM_GETTEXT in Win Vista/7 (and as such probably not a bug) but for standardcontrols would be nice if there is a workaround to get for example the text labels of the calculator buttons.

Also AU3Info x64 and x86 hoovering over the buttons give no text value and spy++ neither.
