Is Window Spy redistributable?

There's no mention of any licensing or redistribution conditions in the help file.

I've always considered it a part of the IDE, (as a debug tool). Therefore not distributable. But that is a decision for CR...

On the other hand, there are some freeware versions of simular tools available on the internet, such as at sysinternals.com or wininternals.com.

Unfortunately systernals freeware are also non distributable.
http://www.sysinternals.com/Licensing.html

I've had a look at Mac's Window Spy Tool, but it doesn't seem to give the correct results on non VDS windows.

I believe spy.exe from the MS' Win32 SDK and Visual C/C++ would do... but I doubt it's redistributable either.

I had a quick go at writing my own without much success. All I want is for users to be able to get the main class name of any particular application's main window.

This is a pretty simple version I wrote in C, if it works for what you want, you can redestribute as you like... I want 300% of any money it makes though Wink

EDIT: New version below.

If that's all you need, you could try something this:
Code:

  option scale,96
  option fieldsep,|
  list create,1
   
Title WinSpy
  DIALOG CREATE,Win Spy,-1,0,532,253,ONTOP,CLASS WinSpy
REM *** Modified by Dialog Designer on 4/3/2006 - 11:35 ***
  DIALOG ADD,TABLE,TABLE1,6,6,432,223,Window ID[100]|Window Class[120]|Window Text,,CLICK,COLUMNSORT
  DIALOG ADD,GROUP,GROUP1,6,443,84,223
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,WinList,13,451,67,24,WinList
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,Position,45,451,67,24,Position
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,Activate,77,451,67,24,Activate
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,Exit,195,451,67,24,Exit
  DIALOG ADD,STATUS,STATUS1,
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,Spy,135,451,67,24,Spy
  DIALOG SHOW
  %X = @SENDMSG(@WINEXISTS(~TABLE1),@SUM($1000,54),0,$20)
  dialog disable,Position
  dialog disable,Activate

:Evloop
  wait event
  goto @event()
 
:SpyButton
  list clear,table1
  while @equal(@winactive(C),WinSpy)
  Wend
  %W = @winatpoint(@mousepos(X),@mousepos(y))
  if %W
    list add,table1,%W@tab()@winclass(%W)@tab()@wintext(%W)|@windir(s)\shell32.dll|2
  end
  dialog set,Status1,Windows = @count(Table1)
  goto evloop

:TABLE1CLICK
  If @greater(@index(Table1),-1)
    dialog enable,Position
    dialog enable,Activate
  else
    dialog disable,Position
    dialog disable,Activate
  end
  goto evloop

:WinListBUTTON
  list clear,table1
  list winlist,1,ICN
  %E = @count(1)
  if @greater(%E,0)
    repeat
      parse "%I;%C;%N",@item(1,@pred(%E))
      if %I
        list add,table1,%I@tab()%C@tab()%N|@windir(s)\shell32.dll|2
      end
      %E = @pred(%E)
    until @zero(%E)
    dialog set,Status1,Windows = @count(Table1)
  end
  list clear,1
  goto evloop

:PositionBUTTON
  parse "%T;%L;%W;%H;%S",@winpos(@item(table1,,1),TLWHS)
  if @equal(%S,1)
    %S = Normal
  elsif @equal(%S,2)
    %S = Inconized
  else
    %S = Maximized
  end
  info Top@tab()%T@cr()Left@tab()%L@cr()Width@tab()%W@cr()Hieght@tab()%H@cr()Status@tab()%S
  goto evloop

:ActivateBUTTON
  Window Activate,@item(table1,,1)
  goto evloop

:ExitBUTTON
:Close
  list close,1
  exit

Thanks SS. It works perfectly. And 300% of "free" will be coming your way. Very Happy

WidgetCoder,

Your sample looked (suspiciously?) just like the CR Window Spy tool. Unfortunately it had the problem of only being able to "spy" on VDS windows.

Updated my window spy to show the window style constant names(WS_BORDER|WS_VISIBLE etc.) under the RealTime tab.
