The string value is the name of the property and not the value of it.

constant  idprop = allocate_string("win32libid")

. . .
     control_hWnd &= 0
     newid = length(control_hWnd)
     hWnd = call_c_func( CreateWindow, { . . . })
     control_hWnd[newid] = hWnd
     VOID = call_c_func( SetProperty, { hWnd, idprop, newid } )

and later 

     id = call_c_func( GetProperty, { hWnd, idprop } )
