Hawkeye replacement - find control and get instance name and maybe other properties

Hi all, Does anyone know of a current tool that can be used like Hawkeye used to be - specifically I want to be able to run a winforms app and then use the tool to target specific controls to see what their instance name is. I am fixing a bug in a legacy program and half the struggle is working out where the meatballs are in all the spaghetti. I am running VS 2022 Professional, so no access to enterprise tools. Cheers Dave

There was a dotnet equivalent to the Spy++ tool called ManagedSpy back in the day. This looks like related, no idea if it still works: https://github.com/ForNeVeR/ManagedSpy -Tony On 14/07/2022 14:35, David Burstin via ozdotnet wrote:
