I think this has been discussed before but it appears that the long name of an object sometimes includes IDs rather than names. Specifically, if a control's name is empty, it's long name will use IDs rather than names for all the objects in the control's owner hierarchy even if the owners have non-blank names.
This seems wrong to me. Obviously, it can't use the control's name but that's no reason to not use the names of its owners. I have a handler that is checking for specific name strings in a control's long name which will not work because of the above. It seems my only alternative is to go chasing up the owner hierarchy to check for the string. I don't know for sure but it seems like that would take a lot longer than parsing the long name.
