Winspector Description

  • Can hide invisible windows. Sounds nice but what does it mean? It means you can reduce the clutter in the window list from 50 windows down to just 5!
  • You can display more than one set of window properties. Spy++ is MDI so why did they implement properties as a modeless dialog!
  • You can view windows by the window hierarchy or by process. This can save you a ton of time hunting to find your window.
  • Right-click on a message to hide it. It also hides all previous instances of that message - these messages aren't lost, they are just hidden.
  • You can pause the output of the messages - but messages are not lost, they are still being recorded and when you un-pause they will be displayed.
  • If you wish to see all hidden messages again then right-click to show them all - none have been lost, all have been recorded.
  • One click to copy window properties such as caption text or window class and whatever else is displayed.
  • Automatically refresh the window list.
  • Automatically start showing window messages when a window class is seen. Winspector manages groups of classes and you can decide whether to show the properties or messages for a window. No more messing around getting Spy++ to see your window.
  • Right-click a message to look it up on google.com - couldn't be simpler. The search engine and URLs used will be configurable at some point in the future too.
  • Easy to find highlighting of windows from the window list
  • Icons for common window classes so you can see at a glance what type of window you are looking at. Also, you can add your own by adding an icon in the "Class-Icons" folder and giving the icon the same name as your window class.
  • Log all window creation and destruction and single click to add window classes to the watch list or to view it's messages. Next time they are created you see all.
  • Saves message filters as XML, each filter is associated with a window class.
  • Message filters can be toggled on and off. This is great for double checking whether you have missed an important message.
  • Message filters can be edited via a GUI to remove bulk messages - much easier to use than the Spy++ equivalent. Right-click the messages window and select Edit message filter...
  • A single click-drag operation to find a window in the window list. No more clumsy Spy++. If you hold down CTRL then a message window is created, hold down SHIFT and a properties window is displayed.
  • Save messages to text or XML file.
  • Ability to edit styles and extended styles of any window.
  • Bookmarks in the message list. Using the traditional MSVC CTRL+F2 etc. you can drop bookmarks and go back to them.
  • Automatically expand either all messages or just a select few. If you have chosen a few then these are remembered for next time.
  • Highlight messages on a per message type basis. Want to see all WM_NOTIFY messages highlighted? Just right click and there they are.
