All the instructions for using the Window Spy Script are included
as remarks in the top of the Script, so I won't repeat them here.
I'm far from an expert at writing AutoHotKey scripts, but I'm
learning a little more each day. There is one issue that I had
difficulty resolving though. I made a feeble effort to have the
width of the DropDownList adjusted according to the length
of the longest parameter in the list. Although my method
offered some control for that, it was far from perfect and
could use improvement. If anyone has any ideas on how to
improve that feature, please share.....
Code:
; Ahk Window Spy, Uses RCtrl - F11 and RCtrl - F12
/*
RCtrl - F11 Enables Window Spy which displays
a Tooltip showing the Window Parameters beneath
the mouse pointer.
RCtrl - F12 Disables Window Spy, Removes the Tooltip
and Displays a DropDownList of the parameters returned.
You can then select the parameter you need from the
List and it will be returned to you on the Windows Clipboard.
If you need more than one item from the DropDownList,
Pressing RCtrl - F12 again allows you to grab another
parameter from the list.
The Basic Routine which grabs the Windows Information
and displays the Tooltip came from the AutoHotKey Help File.
This script just gives you a more user-friendly way of exctracting
the information you need for later use.
