Expand the function of Screen Ruler #20691

Open SteinwaySons opened 2 years ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

image Screen Ruler I mentioned is the PT function shows in the snapshot.

As I wish I suggest that:

  1. Add a feature to get the window handle.
  2. Add a box-like capture frame, like the snapshot with green and red handwriting note showed below, while mouse flow over one window(like the red note), this function can immediately box it(like the green note) and show width and height. image

Scenario when this would be used?

When we are doing GUI programming, we need to obtain the handles of windows display on the screen.

There is other software to achieve what is described here. Thinking of WindowInfo tools. One example I know of is from AutoIt.
