It would be really great to get the controls name from an X Y position. Being able to do that, the slow WinGet with his loop wouldn't be necessary. Thanks.

I've put this on the to-do list. Thanks.

Unless you're doing a bazillion checks, there should be no noticeable performance hit from using something like this:

;
; ControlsAtPos() by infogulch
;
; Returns:
;  A linefeed-delimited list of control hwnds 
;  that intersect the given position in a window.
; 
; Params:
;  WinTitle: the parent window from which to find controls
;  fx, fy: the coordinates, relative to the parent, which the controls must overlap
; 
; library compatible if named ControlsAtPos.ahk 
; 

ControlsAtPos(WinTitle, fx, fy) {
	WinGet, list, ControlListHwnd, %WinTitle%
	loop, parse, list, `n
	{
		ControlGetPos, x, y, w, h, , ahk_id %A_LoopField%
		if (x <= fx && fx <= x+w) && (y <= fy && fy <= y+h)
			ret .= "`n" A_LoopField  
		; controls can overlap, so a single position could theoretically
		;   have more than one control
	}
	return SubStr(ret, 2)
}
