spy++

We've got an app with a complex hierarchy of widgets and I want to be able to browse this hierarchy, view and edit properties (such as size) in a similar manner to Spy++. It doesn't need to be running in an external app, if there is a widget that can display this information. So the question is, does such a mythical beast exist? you can use Gammaray for spy Widget and signal slot and timers and resource and etc. Gammaray is very powerfull tool for spy Qt Application The usual approach is to build such a beast in-house, using the introspection APIs, and walking the QWidget parent-child

I am facing a problem related to get out all the controls from some hooked process. My SpyDll launched into hooked process sucessfully, But when I check the statement Control control = Control.FromHandle(MainWindowHandle), it returns null into control object where "MainWindowhandle"is just a native main window handle of that hooked process, which you always take from .NET "Process" class after launching that process. But STRANGLY it happens that in some other hooked process which is the same C# .NET application, it returns valid object of Main "WinForm". So why it will not work in above case?

I'm trying to write a tool which lets me inspect the state of a PowerBuilder-based application. What I'm thinking of is something like Spy++ (or, even nicer, 'Snoop' as it exists for .NET applications) which lets me inspect the object tree (and properties of objects) of some PowerBuilder-based GUI. I did the same for ordinary (MFC-based) applications as well as .NET applications already, but unfortunately I never developed an application in PowerBuilder myself, so I'm generally thinking about two problems at this point: Is there some API (preferably in Java or C/C++) available which lets one

TL;DR - How does the Spy++ tool really construct its process list? Stage We have an MFC desktop application (running on Windows XP) that is hanging in that it doesn't react to any user input anymore. It is redrawn when switching to it via alt-tab however. (It does receive WM_SETFOCUS , WM_ACTIVATE , etc. It apparently does not receive any mouse or keyboard messages.) Since the app is hanging in some limbo, we pulled a few process dumps, but these were of little help so far. Enter: Spy++ We used Spy++ to find the information I gave above about the window messages this application seems to be

Awhile ago, I needed a Spy++ like application for some .NET UI debugging. I found an old MSDN article with a sample that does things similarly, But that stopped working in newer .NET Framework versions. Does anyone know of/wrote an application that mimics Spy++ behavior and works on Managed applications (rather, shows Managed events/properties) and works on newer .NET Frameworks, up to 4.0? I can recommend UISpy , a spy utility which uses the UI Automation framework to transparently spy on plain Win32 applications as well as Windows Forms or WPF . It's a bit hard to find UISpy, but I
