Question - Is There Tool To View The "View Hierarchy" in EQ? (1 Viewer)

[SomeRandomDude]

I see a lot of macros out there that do things like this:

/nomodkey /notify QuantityWnd QTYW_Accept_Button leftmouseup

which is super cool. The only problem is that I have no idea what the identifiers are (such as QuantityWindow and QTYW_Accept_Button in the above example) for the windows and buttons that I'd like to manipulate. Two questions:

1. Is there a master list of all windows and all buttons/controls within each window?

or better yet...

2. Is there a script that I can run that will display the current "view hierarchy" within EQ? I'm not sure the correct term for that, I'm borrowing the iOS term "View Hierarchy", but I'm looking for a way that I can query for all windows and controls presently visible in EQ. That way I can manually go through the flow that I want to script and then query for the IDs/Names of the windows/controls as I encounter them.

Thanks.

Check out the window inspector, get there from the MQ console:

Put your mouse over a button and /echo ${EverQuest.LastMouseOver}

This is awesome!!! Thanks for the quick replies. I can now get all the info that I need.

I tried to get wired420's suggestion ( /echo ${EverQuest.LastMouseOver} ) working as it seemed like a real quick way to get at exactly the info I need, however, it always just prints "TRUE" to the MQ output window. Am I missing a plugin that would make that possible? I assigned it to a hotkey, but I don't imagine that would matter.

I believe it changed to mirror the Window TLO, Try putting .Text at the end.

Try:
/echo ${EverQuest.LastMouseOver.Name}

Make sure the capitalization is exact, it is case sensative - here are the TLO information with more commands.

Also the /windows command will dump a list to output.

the window inspector was made to replace all of that though

I was able to see it with:
/echo ${EverQuest.LastMouseOver.Name}

Thanks @Rare Spawn (and I like your icon).

Just to make sure you noticed it on the window inspector window, do click the circle button on the upper left corner of the window, and mouse over things on your UI.

It was .Name, ha. Just went and looked in my own video to remember :-)
