Description Markus Tiede CLA 2014-01-17 09:16:51 EST 
From the Microsoft documentation:

Remarks: Control type describes a known interaction model for arbitrary UI Automation elements without relying on a localized control type or combination of complex logic rules.

The only case where this ***property can change at run time*** is for a control that supports MultipleViewPattern. An example is the Win32 ListView control, which can change from DataGrid to List, depending on the current view.

Since this is a corner case, and not something we're likely to address until it is signalled to us by an external party as an actual problem, marking as wontfix.
