Currently an instance of control has zero as its member for numerical ID even if any IDs are assigned to. According to this bug, any userspace applications cannot identify controls by the ID when handling any events. On the other hand, the other members such as name are still valid, therefore applications can identify controls without fixing this.
This is not preferable because the ID has an advantage to allow userspace applications to distinguish each controls by itself, without any combinations.
