## Description

Gui Inspect Tool is a diagnostic utility designed for examining Windows graphical interface hierarchies, monitoring accessibility events, and inspecting window styles. It functions as a desktop application inspection tool that reveals window hierarchies, handle values, styles, and system-level properties of running Windows applications.

The software provides capabilities for traversing accessibility tree hierarchies to extract element properties and structural user interface nodes. It includes real-time event hooking to intercept and log asynchronous accessibility and window messages as they occur, alongside in-memory property modification capabilities to alter target window styles and attributes directly in system memory.
