### Installation

To install FlaUInspect, either build it yourself, get it from chocolatey (https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/flauinspect) or get the zip from the releases page here on GitHub.

### Description

There are various tools around which help inspecting application that should be ui tested or automated. Some of them are:

* VisualUIAVerify

* Inspect

* UISpy

* and probably others

Most of them are old and sometimes not very stable and (if open source), a code mess to maintain.

FlaUInspect is supposed to be a modern alternative, based on [FlaUI](https://github.com/Roemer/FlaUI).

On startup, you can choose if you want to use UIA2 or UIA3 (see [FAQ](https://github.com/Roemer/FlaUI/wiki/FAQ) why you can't use both at the same time).

| Focus Tracking | Enable this mode that the focused element is always automatically selected in FlaUInspect |
