Will there be any alternative while interrogating the windows controls with long hierarchy?
While interrogating some controls using windows adapter we are getting a long hierarchy. As there is a risk involved in making all the controls unique in the hierarchy, Is there any way to mitigate this risk?

Thanks in advance.

The windows adapter will not flatten" the hierarchy and will include all controls above a given control. There's not really a risk as unlike web applications, the hierarchy likely won't change.

Could you please suggest best naming convention followed for all the controls identified in the previous attached screenshot as there are many controls associated with similar names

Naming is really up to you and your standards. I really wouldn't try to rename any controls that I am not specifically using as that would just require extra time. If you do want to name them, I would name them all after the parent and then the type of control they are followed by an ordinal number to make each unique.
When you have a large hierarchy, you need to make sure that each and every control in the hierarchy is matched properly and uniquely.
