Description
WinID is controls & windows identification utility that is both powerful and compact. Its main purpose is to give an easy way to retrieve information about Microsoft Windows controls visually right off the screen. WinID resembles Spy++ from the Microsoft Visual Studio toolset but it also incorporates lots of its own handy features.Who would be interested in using WinID? Definitely, a person who knows (or plans to learn) the architecture of the Microsoft Windows Operating System - Microsoft developer, programmer, debugger/tester, beginner, student. It will definitely be handy for debugging your C/C++/MFC/.NET and Visual Basic applications, as well as learning more about how your favorite programs and components of the Operating System itself are built.
Special features:
- To use WinID all you have to have is a mouse, and all you have to do is to point it to a control to receive information about it.
- WinID is completely "transparent" for other running programs and for the Operating System.
- WinID retrieves a wealth of Windows NT compatible information about a control, including: control handle & title (text), device context handles, control ID, control status (enabled, visible, Unicode), module handle, Window Procedure (WndProc), menu handle, atom, icon handles, cursor handle, brush handle, extra window data, window class styles, window region, process ID, process priority, process creation and GDI & User module times, process memory and handle count stats, process privileges, main thread ID, main thread priority, main thread creation and GDI & User module times, base priority, image file path, module file path, app instance handle, shut-down parameters, shut-down flags, parent window handle & class, window & control styles, extended styles, additional control-specific info, and much more.

- WinID can extract dynamic resources such as icons, bitmaps, image lists, enhanced metafiles, fonts, window properties from controls on the screen (through Capture Shot feature *).

This software was developed for the version of Windows prior to Windows
Vista and Windows 7. Due to a much altered system architecture of those
operating systems, WinID is no longer fully compatible with Windows Vista/7.
At the present time we're not capable of solving this compatibility
issue due to the aforementioned re-design of the system architecture of
the latest versions of Windows. If you have any, please direct your complaints to
Microsoft...
