I'm working with a winforms application that is targeting .net 4.5 and I really need to inspect the UI elements. I've used Snoop to inspect wpf elements in the past, and I've come across Hawekeye as well. However, it appears hawkeye is not compatible with .net 4.5. Are there any tools out there than can give me similar results?

Seems like the old tools no longer work like UI Spy either. Microsoft have an Inspect tool available here (Inspect tool). It's part of the Win8 SDK.

I'm looking at the same problem myself today, so will be trying it shortly.
