When you start the Windows CE Remote Spy++ (pspy.exe), the remote device downloads a dialog box containing a list of the windows that are open on the device. The following screen shot shows the Spy++ window.

When you select a window and choose Messages on the File menu, a secondary window appears. The new window contains information about the messages in the selected window's message queue.
