Windows event message viewer for viewing messages sent by PostMessage() function - winapi

Couple of years ago i used some tool to monitor what event messages were being sent to a window. I can't remember the name right now. Can someone please tell me some tool with this functionality.

If you are looking for a free alternative, give Winspector a try (Official website seems to be down at the moment)

Spy++, that is typically packaged with VS.

Spy from Visual Studio

If it was Visual Studio you used, it was probably Spy++ you remember. Alternatives are WinSpy, and WinSight, that comes with Borland products (C++ and Delphi)

is there anyway to embed an OLE object in Word under macos and use an external program to process the OLE object when double clicking?

guys!
we are developing a formula editor.
we want to insert our formula in Word (the formula image is normally displayed in Word) and edit again, just like xlsx files.
when double clicking, we want to launch our editor program to edit the formula and then replace it in Word.
we have already done that on Windows, but under the macOS, we are confused because we do not know how to implement them.
can you please tell me if that possible? is there a similar function implementation of office word under macos?
any advice or suggestion is welcome!
No, it is not possible because OLE is based on the COM technology which exists on Windows only.
As a possible solution you may consider creating an Office web add-in which can be installed on all platforms from web browsers to Mac OS. See Develop Office Add-ins for more information.
You can post or vote for an existing feature request on Tech Community where they are considered when the Office dev team go through the planning process.

Windows 10 Mobile: Accessing device log (like logcat on Android)

I'm trying to find a way to view the device log of a Windows 10 Mobile Device.
I have already searched my way through various forums but it seems to be very new topic not many have come across so far.
So my question is:
How do I do this?
I'm looking for something vaguely equivalent to Android Studio's Logcat.
I know my way around in Visual Studio, I hoped there would be some way to do it via the debug console, but as far as I know that thing is limited to the current app you are developing.
Any help would be nice. I'm kind of lost here.
Cheers.
Currently there is no equivalent of Logcat.
But I can advise you some alternatives:
1) Visual Studio Console: you can display information from the code directly on the Visual Studio console. To do it just add below line to the fragment of your code:
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("This is information to be displayed on the VS Console...");
You can also change the color of the font:
a. For example for errors you can set it to be RED:
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
If you need some more complex solution you can try Microsoft HockeyApp.
With this tool you can measure performance of your app. Not only bugs but also how many users use your app (they can even contact you to report errors).

Third solutuion here is to use this official Logging APIs samples avilable on GitHub:

Hope this wil help you.

Now that VS2015 has dropped support for the code definition window are there any alternatives?

MS has dropped support for the code definition window with Roslyn.
I already have R# installed and don't want to install CodeRush as well to get this functionality back.
Has anyone seen a (free) plugin that does this and preferably only this? Peek does not fit with my workflow (as also stated in the mentioned post)

How do I listen to OneNote Interop events (15.0 library) from unmanaged code?

I wrote a C# WPF app that can read/write/update to my OneNote application, using the OneNote 2013 APIs from this guidance from Microsoft.
But when I tried to register to the OnNavigate event, nothing happened, and the event handling methods never got executed! When I read further into the above guidance, I found that Microsoft specifically stated that "Events currently cannot be added in managed code".
So what does this mean, actually? Does this mean that there is a solution, but I'd have to write the solution myself in C++ unmanaged code? If so, how would I go about doing something like this to expose the events and consume them in my C# WPF app? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
