A word of warning: This plug-in is for developers only. It is of zero use to anyone else. To drive this point home, I'm only uploading the source code and not the dll file.
What this does:
Start it from the plug-in menu. Click on the search button in the window that will come up, and Presto! You now have the name and type of every single control that is currently loaded in the toolset. Quite useful when you need to figure the name of a specific control. Leave Max Depth at -1 for all controls.
New version uploaded on 16 Jul 2007: You can now specify a specific control and list only that controls children.
Caveat: If you work like me with the main window on one screen with just the area and nothing else, and have all your other windows torn off on the other monitor, you'll run into problems. Sandbar Search will only pick up windows that are attached to the main window.

Of course *grins* Though I tend to use it as a guideline for others. Going by the standards guide, a 7 is the absolute highest I feel this plugin really deserves. _________________________ Dragons are awsome and dragons are fun.

*sigh* wish you could edit comments.
What kind of properties are you talking about? X/Y location, parent name, ect? Very easy to do, though it would take a little tweaking to get the formating to look decent. _________________________ Dragons are awsome and dragons are fun.

It should return 1061 controls. Are you leaving max depth at -1? _________________________ Dragons are awsome and dragons are fun.

I expected to get references of all the buttons, trackbars, labels, etc. but it gives me only a few containers and tab buttons. Is it normal ?
Hmm, I think what would be cool is to get the properties and parents' properties of the control wich is under the cursor. But I don't know if it's possible and if it would be worth the effort.
