Easy to use application
The software enables you to retrieve the information that defines a window or a window handle, with a simple click. You can enable one of the two info grabbing modes. Select the Finder tool and drag and drop it on top of the instance you wish to analyze, or the Watch cursor function that extracts information from whichever handle lies at the tip of your cursor.You can view the metadata you have selected as a summary that contains the basic parameters, or as a detailed list. The software displays data such as handle name, RECT structure, position in the parent instance, control ID, window style, size, resolution and whether or not it contains Unicode language. This can help you develop your own handles, as solution to runtime errors, for instance.

You can view all the currently running processes, as well as those that run in the background.For a simplified view, Window Pry enables you to exclude any untitled or hidden window from the tree structure.
