Winspector - Watching windows messages

Winspector includes the ability to watch for the creation of windows of specific window classes.

When Winspector sees a window that matches one of your classes it will create either a properties or messages window.

There's a few ways you can set this up:

No matter how you decide to set up a window class watch you'll get the same resulting edit dialog box:

From the above dialog you can choose to either have a message window or properties window created (or none).

To remove a class watch

Choose the Edit|Window class watches menu. From there hit Delete. The watches are not deleted until you hit OK so if you do make a mistake don't OK the dialog.

That's it!

That's all there is to it. Once a window class watch is set up Winspector will create which-ever view you have asked when it sees the specified window class.

See the XML example and text example of watching the Zoom+ window from before the window is created to it being closed
