Win32 Messages program

Question

Hi there,

Few years ago when I was doing win32 programming, there was a program (from Microsoft I believe) that helps see all messages sent to winproc real time. I think it's a dialog box with all controls and depending of the actions you do, it display messages sent to that control.

Does anyone know which program I am talking about? If so what's the name and where can I find it. Thank you.

Answer 1

is it spy++

Answer 2

It's called Spy++.

It comes with Visual Studio, and you can find it in under Start, Programs, Microsoft Visual Studio 20xx, Visual Studio Tools.

Answer 3

The program you are looking for is Control Spy.

As others have mentioned there is also Spy++. Source is available for a Spy++-like program called WinSpy++. (More alternatives on the thread i-want-spy-but-i-dont-have-visual-studio)
