Hi @LCF-AT

1. Windowzer 1.3 By ManHunter / PCL

i use Au3Info too, who is good a small.

edit: i attached it in case, you don't want to dl the whole autoit package.
i use it mostly to identify the target controls and send my serial from my keygen into the app dialog, if you want a snippet:

invoke FindWindow, NULL, addr szSerialDialog
.if eax
   mov hwnd, eax
   invoke SendDlgItemMessageA,hwnd,132,WM_SETTEXT,0,addr szSerial
.endif

 

Au3Info.zip

Hi again,

thanks for uploading the files guys.

Question: Why I dont get all controls captured with the tools?

Example: I wanna catch the splitter control but I dont get it.In earlier days I always used WinForce tool on XP & Windows 7 and there I got everything.Now in the tools I have tested (WinSpy and your tools) I don't get it.Why?

PS: How to use the WinDowzer tool?I dont see any capture function / button?

@LCF-AT

Drag the mouse to the position you need, then press Alt + Ctrl + W. 

This tool doesn't have a Capture option, but it's useful. If you need other tools The link is at the top.

Window Detective is a good tool to achieve what you require.

These tools do not work for UWP apps though AFAIK.  So the app store apps or even the new Windows 10 settings area and start menu require alternate techniques.  I've not seen any good GUI tools in this area though

Hi again,

one more question about those Spy tools.So they work well so far for normal apps but what about NET FrameWork build apps?I have test it too on some of them and the only info I get is same = classname of Qt5QWindowIcon and that it.No infos about any buttons / listview / treeviews etc.Are there also Spy tools who support NET FW apps to scan classes and getting all infos like for other normal apps?

idk but about spytools on .NET, but i noticed ProtectionID have a WinSpy feature too.

Hi,

not using PID anymore on WIn10.Just wanted to know whether there is any WinSpy tool for .NET targets or not you know.Somehow the classes / controls must be have names too for NET files, maybe there is any NET based WinSpy tool somewhere I don't know yet to get all infos of NET apps.
