I have several controls that have the same ID numbers in the resource file.
However, I tend to rename the controls so that they make more sense. For
example, this one might be IDC_SEND_BTN and IDC_REFRESH_BTN. They could
still be the same resource number, but it would be easier at first glance to
see what the buttons are used for in the code.

Since the resource numbers are assigned automatically most of the time you
won't even know the duplication is happening and it won't let it happen if
you add a new control to the same form.

I have a project with several views.

There are two FormViews with it's own buttons and ListCtrls. The button in
FormView1 use "IDC_BUTTON1", and the button in FormView2 use "IDC_BUTTON1"
too. The two ListCtrls in the two FormViews also share the same
"IDC_LIST1".
The VS2005 do this for me. Is that OK? Is there something wrong?

But for now on, My program does not have any unexpected events. I just
want
to figure out what's the logic.

//**************** code ******************
in FormView1:
ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_BUTTON1, &CThumbView::OnBnClickedSend)
ON_NOTIFY(NM_CLICK, IDC_LIST1, &CThumbView::OnNMClickList1)
in FormView2:
ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_BUTTON1, &CRSSThumbView::OnBnClickedRefresh)
ON_NOTIFY(NM_CLICK, IDC_LIST1, &CRSSThumbView::OnNMClickList1)
//***************************************
