This is likely a vista issue, but thought I'd pass it along here, hoping for a fix.

The AHK spy title states (Shift - Alt - Tab to freeze display)
This has always worked well for XP, but Vista appears to work differently. Instead of shifting from the active app, it appears to work from the center of the listings...but none the less, AHK spy doesn't freeze the display results, but shifts to the next app.

It's been frustrating, as any information I was hoping to capture is gone!

Perhaps as options in addition to freezing the display, we could capture the AHK spy content to the clipboard or dump to a text file.

As I haven't noticed any other complaints on this, perhaps I'm missing something?????

I have found that with Vista, the Alt-Tab program is not the same as XPs, and the spy sees the data from the AltTab.

You might be able to make a hotkey to activate the window, or if you know what data you are looking for, you can write a script to grab it without using the spy.

Thanks for the report. I've added this to my Vista notes as a possible improvement for a future version.

Thanks Chris!
It's all I can really ask of such a wonderful tool!
