#Window inspector portable#
Window Inspector is available in a portable version. Right-click anywhere within the main window and you will see a context menu that's identical to Internet Explorer. Note: Windows Inspector seems to be using Internet Explorer for its interface. Description GUIPropView displays extensive information about all windows currently opened on your system. The Owners window displays a similar list. Clicking the Parents button opens a window that displays a tree (Parents Window Hierarchy) of all running processes, their PID, and the list of associated elements. Or, for a simpler way, click on the "Save to File" option or use the hotkey Ctrl + Shift + F2, to save the technical information to a HTM, HTML or XHTML file. The text displayed in Window Inspector is selectable, so you can copy it to a text editor if required. Window Inspector updates the process information pane in real-time, but if you want to pause it, hit the "Freeze Timer" button or use the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl + Shift + F1. The total number of running processes is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You may toggle a filter to only view the visible windows in the list, i.e., to hide background processes. It lists every process that is currently running on the computer with the handle, process ID, process path, class, and text (title). This opens a new window called Window Z-Order. An easier way is to click on the button next to "Owners" on the toolbar. There are two ways to get the "Window Handle": mouse over a program's interface and you'll see the Window Info at the top of Window Inspector. Or, you can enter the Window Handle of the application that you want to monitor, in the text field in the top left corner. If I wanted to monitor Firefox's executable, I have to switch to the browser's interface and use the keyboard shortcut. Instead, you'll need to use the Lock on Window option's keyboard shortcut, Control + Shift + F3. Don't click on the Lock on Window button on the toolbar as it does the same. Here's why: when you mouse over a program's window and you switch back to Window Inspector, it displays the information of its own executable. Window Inspector is in a way, a keyboard focused application.
Move the mouse cursor over the window of another program, and you'll see its information in Window Inspector's interface, including the program's icon, class, text (tile), cursor position, process location, and more. The GUI of Window Inspector has a toolbar at the top, and a large pane below it. But this isn't a tool that most users may want to use in the first place. The program's interface isn't complex to understand, but the sheer amount of details it provides may be too much for the average user. Except, instead of managing the processes, you can use it to view a ton of technical information about them.
Window Inspector is kind of like an advanced task manager. These are usually accomplished with the help of the Windows Task Manager, or some third party alternative such as Task Explorer, Task Manager Deluxe, or Process Explorer for it.
