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

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

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.

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

Make sure the capitalization is exact, it is case sensative - here are the TLO information with more commands.
 
Check out the window inspector, get there from the MQ console:

View attachment 46102
View attachment 46103
View attachment 46104
How do you make this MQ Console appear?
I have never seen a window with the Options Windows Inspectors Tools menus.
Thank you.

Answered my own question with a guess:
/mqconsole show
