C++ Object Spy

[Gibbs]

Hello all,

am after a application that will allow me to high light a button on a C++ built application and return the details of the button such as name, size, font etc etc.

If anyone knows QTP its similar to the Object Spy that is built into it. I just want a separate one.

Cheers
Joe

Presuming you don't have a Visual Studio pro or better, in which case you can just use Spy++ that comes as part of the VS tools.

A look at alternative places to get this or similar yielded these pointers:

You'll probably have to do some extra leg-work once you get the handle to the window in order to interrogate/inspect other properties like the Font being used, as that's not really what Spy++ was for, but it is probably enough to be able to hook into.
