Zohar 3 Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Hi I am looking for an Alternative to Spy++, for Capturing Windows Messages, so I can then simulate them via AutoIt, to control other apps. If anyone can recommend, that would be great. Edited February 17, 2012 by Zohar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnQSmith 40 Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) It doesn't work on all the windows I've tried, but you might try GetWindowText by SoftwareOK. (Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but thought I'd throw it out there.)Edit: Punctuation and disclaimer added. Edited February 13, 2012 by JohnQSmith Whenever someone says "pls" because it's shorter than "please", I say "no" because it's shorter than "yes". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zohar 3 Posted February 14, 2012 Hi JohnQSmith This looks like a very nice program, but it gets Texts from Windows, and not Windows Messages, which is something else.. But thnk you for it It can be useful for other situations Zohar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very easy to use because of its simplicity and the needed information 'Title' and 'Class' are are well positioned. Good design. The other program WinDetective missed capturing some windows, e.g. Notepad2.exe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When it's not developped doesn't mean it's not working. I use this tool without any problems. Resources UDF ResourcesEx UDF AutoIt Forum Search Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
