GUI Info Utility for Windows

A very quick one today. GUIInfo is a tiny little utility that has a narrow purpose: it shows, in realtime, the current active, focus, foreground and capture window information for Windows.

Why this utility? Debugging focus issues is always frustrating. Attempting to observe current window focus information in a debugger results in the focus changing (to the debugger, of course). You can work around this – use remote debugging, or add logging in the debugger – but it’s a hassle.

Debugging focus issues would make Werner Heisenberg feel right at home.
