I have noticed that many apps use (what seems like) the exact same control to find/select external windows. The tool looks like this:

Windows finder tool

Is this a standard component that I can import from somewhere? Maybe it just has a weird name I can't find?

I've nearly replicated the functionality but this finder tool looks much better than mine. Here's some screenshots of just two of the places I've seen this component:

    I think such a question is off-topic here. You can ask for libraries at https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/. Be sure to define your needs regarding OS, license and cost. – Thomas Weller Nov 18 '18 at 20:04

    It is not a standard tool. [This code](https://stackoverflow.com/a/3124252/17034) gets you half-way there, you'll have to add WindowFromPoint() and GetWindowRect() to know how to draw the rectangle. – Hans Passant Nov 18 '18 at 22:49

Hmm. I started searching for Spy++ source code and came across many examples!

Thanks for the help everyone!
