Using HawkEye to find control to Script (Findings Viewer example)

Here is an O2 Script/API that helps to find the control to script (via the script_Me extension method)

By adding a reference to the API_HackEye.cs you can call the openControlFinder (via the new REPL menu added)


This will open up a popup window with the HawkEye


Drag the eye (i.e. the target icon) on top of a control to see its properties, and click on the 'Open ScriptMe for this control' link:



This will open a script editor, with the selected object passed as a parameter:


Note that this will only work for WinForm controls that exist in the current .NET process.
