Make use of this compact application in order to find out more about your system\'s window hierarchy, properties or internal messages

Learning more about your system and its inherent characteristics can go beyond reading documentation and relying on special help sections. WinHier works as a utility and provides the means to gather and analyze more information about users’ window hierarchy of the active instances, processes or even tasks.

Lightweight package, accompanied by a minimalist interface

Simple solutions are best and right off the start the app impresses through its relatively small size and quite straightforward setup process. A portable version is also provided, thus ensuring that even those who prefer to work “on-the-fly” are being covered.
The layout is intuitive and much resembles that of a standard task manager app, offering a listing of all the opened windows, their hierarchic scheme or processes.
Search function helps narrow down processes or windows and three different display types ensure an accurate overview
Besides listing all the active windows and processes or threads, the app also offers a neat little search field, which can considerably speed-up finding a particular instance. Upon inputting the search string, the app will automatically display and highlight the matches in the list.
Furthermore, in order to cover a greater range of uses, there are three main display types available, a desktop-tree, process-window or process-thread types. Each will offer different advantages, depending on what users prefer to visualize.

Interesting utility that will help those who wish to learn more and dwell deeper into their active processes and windows

Featuring a basic interface with simplified handling, it does offer as an extra feature a dedicated search field, which can help users narrow down results when wanting to display a particular process or task.
