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.

  • Are you sure? Can you describe it? – SLaks Dec 24 '09 at 01:06
  • yes I am sure because I know spy++. If I remember well, it's simple window on which you have common window controls. When you select a control, it appears somewhere in the dialog and you could interact with it. While you interact with it, you see all messages triggered real time. – kaschioudi Dec 24 '09 at 01:13

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)

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.
