Window Detective: The Ultimate Programmer's Tool for Windows Applications

As a programmer, you know how important it is to have the right tools at your disposal. And when it comes to developing applications for Windows, Window Detective is one tool that you simply can't do without.

Window Detective is a powerful software program that allows you to "spy" on an application's windows and view and modify some of its properties. With this tool, you can set properties such as text/title, dimensions and styles, view all windows in a tree hierarchy of parent/child windows, 'Pick' windows to inspect using the mouse, advanced search which allows you to find windows that match specified criteria, listen for window messages sent to a window, and "Smart Settings" that intelligently remember user settings such as window positions.

Whether you're working on a small project or developing complex applications with multiple windows and controls, Window Detective makes it easy to get the information you need quickly and efficiently. Here are just some of the features that make this tool so indispensable:

View All Windows in Hierarchy

With Window Detective's tree hierarchy view of parent/child windows, you can easily see how different parts of an application are related. This makes it easy to identify which window or control needs attention when debugging or testing your code.

Modify Properties

Need to change the title or size of a particular window? No problem! With Window Detective's property modification feature, making changes is quick and easy.

Advanced Search

Looking for specific types of windows? Use Window Detective's advanced search feature to find exactly what you're looking for based on criteria such as class name or caption text.

Listen for Messages

Want to know what messages are being sent between different parts of an application? With Window Detective's message listener feature, you can monitor all messages sent between any two windows in real-time.

Smart Settings

Tired of having to reset your preferences every time you use an application? With Smart Settings in Window Detective, your preferences will be remembered automatically so that everything looks just the way you want it every time!

In addition these features mentioned above there are many more features available with this amazing software like:

- View/Edit Control Styles & ExStyles.

- View/Edit Control Text.

- View/Edit Position & Size.

- Find Controls by their Class Name.

- Find Controls by their Caption Text.

- Find Controls by their HWND Handle ID.

- Pick any visible UI element from screen (by mouse cursor).

And much more!

So if you're looking for a powerful yet user-friendly tool that will help streamline your development process while giving greater insight into how applications work behind-the-scenes then look no further than Window Detector!
