>Any control will have a name, so if it doesn't, it's either not instantiated or it's not instantiated yet or it was set to something else. Either way, if its name is not a string, then it's as good as nonexistent. If it has a name and it's a string, I can safely assume it's a regular object that I can address.

That is correct, I do this also most of the times with the name property.
