Try this....
Code:
Gui, Add, Text, x26 y27 w80 h20 , Control rename
Gui, Add, Button, x76 y77 w100 h30 , Old name
; Generated using SmartGUI Creator for SciTE
Gui, Show, w274 h158, Untitled GUI
return

GuiClose:
ExitApp

^1:: ; Ctrl + 1
ControlSetText, Button1, NEW name, Untitled GUI
return

Use ControlSetText along with the window spy (to get ClassNN of control).

It works! Run this
Code:
#SingleInstance force

Run, notepad
sleep, 100
send, Hello world
send !{F4}
sleep, 100
ControlSetText, Button1, NEW name1, ahk_class #32770
ControlSetText, Button2, NEW name2, ahk_class #32770
ControlSetText, Button3, NEW name3, ahk_class #32770
ExitApp

All the three buttons will have a new caption.

ExitApp

All the three buttons will have a new caption.


Note that this kind of script must be relaunch each time you refresh the window.
In the exampel of notepad if you press cancel then Alt+F4 the caption of the button are reset totheir default system name.

If the goal is to change permanently the application button caption as long as the application remainst active this could be a way to get it.
This script will also close itself when the traced application will get closed.

Code:
#SingleInstance force
run notepad,,,NotPadPID
sleep, 100
send, Hello world
send !{F4}
sleep, 100

Loop
{
   sleep, 100
   ControlSetText, Button1, --(YES)--, ahk_pid %NotPadPID%
   ControlSetText, Button2, --(NO)--, ahk_pid %NotPadPID%
   ControlSetText, Button3, --(Cancel)--, ahk_pid %NotPadPID%
   IfWinNotActive, ahk_pid %NotPadPID%
      ExitApp
}
return

^esc::exitapp

Sorry, I should have explained more clearly. My aim here is not to rename the outward appearance of the control but to rename its literal control name. For example, if you were to use Window Spy on a message box, the buttons would read "New Text" instead of "Button1."

for what purpose?

I would bet you can't change the ClassNN of a control made by another window. However, knowing this community, I wouldn't bet much.

Oh. Well, I figured it was worth asking about, since titles can be renamed.
