Automation Spy

spy utility tool

Automation Spy is a spy utility tool designed to examine the hierarchy of Microsoft UI Automation elements.

   It has simple intuitive features and buttons that can be used to work with it.  It can be used to navigate the MS UI Automation hierarchy of objects and examine each object's properties and control models.

 You can navigate directly to an element using the mouse pointer.  You can also monitor UI Automation events generated for a specific element.  Additionally, you can perform actions on Automation elements using control models.

 Why Automation Spy?  Because we want to make application development easier using Microsoft UI Automation technology (UIA).
