README
Mouse-Digger
A tool that shows the class name of the component under mouse. Useful when you debug a laaaaarge program that has thousands of components, especially ones created dynamically.

Dependencies
The program needs the LightSaber library and FastMM4 (though you can manually removed them). The Debug build also uses the optional Autopilot for Delphi bridge, which lets an AI assistant drive the app.
Why?
I created this program because I worked for a very big (and convoluted) project that had complex "panel in panel in frame in form" layouts, created/moved dynamically, at runtime. It was difficult to figure out which panel visible on the screen came from which DFM. With Mouse-Digger all I had to do was to point the mouse over the running app and voila... I got the name of the control (panel) that I could search in all DFMs.
