spy++

Background I am looking for Spy++. I believe it should be included in Visual Studio 2017 since the latest Visual Studio help content references it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/introducing-spy-increment . Problem I have just done a clean install of Visual Studio 2017, but Spy++ does not exist in the file system. I can't find it. Question So I guess I need to select certain "workflows" when installing Visual Studio to have Spy++ installed? Anyone know if this is correct? And if so, which workflow/feature do I need? Setup Windows 10 Visual Studio Professional 2017 15.1

How can I programmatically detect if a thread has windows handles on it for a given process? spy++ gives me this information but I need to do it programmatically. I need to do this in C#, however the .net diagnostics libs don't give me this information. I imagine spy++ is using some windows api call that I don't know about. I have access to the code of the system I'm trying to debug. I want to embed some code called by a timer periodically that will detect how many thread contain windows handles and log this info. thanks I believe you can use win api functions: EnumWindowsProc to iterate

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633500(v=vs.85).aspx I define FindWindowEx function. using System.Runtime.InteropServices; [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Unicode)] static extern IntPtr FindWindowEx(IntPtr parentHandle, IntPtr childAfter, string lclassName, string windowTitle); Now I am able to find first handle of "Button" control (get name from Spy++) setting childAfter as IntPtr.Zero . IntPtr hWndParent = new IntPtr(2032496); // providing parent window handle IntPtr hWndButton = FindWindowEx(hWndParent, IntPtr.Zero, "Button", string.Empty); How to get second

As a “hardcore” WinForms programmer from a Win32 background I have always used Spy++ to understand what my applications are doing at the UI level including: Seeing what events the controls are sending to each other. Seeing the control tree at run time Finding the control that is drawing part of the display I then often search for the control name in the source code, very useful when you have to change the UI on a large application you don’t know well. So how do I do the same with a WPF application? (You may assume I have access to the source code of the WPF application if needed, however I

I'm interested in working on a plugin for Keepass , the open-source password manager. Right now, Keepass currently detects what password to copy/paste for you based off of the window title. This prevents Keepass from detecting the current password you need for apps that don't actively update their window title based on the current site (Chrome for instance). How can I walk through another processes window elements (buttons, labels, textbox) similar to how Spy++ works? When you run Spy++ you can hover over other programs windows and get all kinds of information about various properties

I only have SQL Server 2008 Client tools. I would like to use Spy++ , but of course, it only comes with the Visual Studio installation. Is there a good replacement for Spy++ that I can use? Yuriy Faktorovich Winspector has been more helpful. Not sure why their site is down right now, but there are a lot of other places to download it. There is WinSpy++ by James Brown at Catch22.net It's free contains source and works well. Visual Studio 2013 now has a community edition . See the Q&A on that page to see if you can use it. Spy++ is included in the community edition. I had to launch the
