Capturing Win32 messages

Question

Does anyone know a tool that can capture win32 messages that get sent to a particular process? I thought there was a tool from sysinternals for that but now I can't locate it. Anyone knows some?

It now also comes with the "community" version which is free. – Rick Feb 27 '15 at 13:16

If you want to do it programmatically, you need to create a message hook
