Introduction
The Tcl Windows API (TWAPI) extension
provides access to over 380 functions in the
Windows API from
within the Tcl scripting language (V8.4 and above). The extension targets the
Windows NT family (NT 4.0 SP4 or later,
Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003),
and is not supported on the Windows 95/98/ME platforms.
The extension provides access to the Windows API at two levels:
- a direct interface to the supported Windows API is provided where the
Tcl commands directly map to Windows functions. This interface is not
documented in the TWAPI documentation except for a listing of the
supported functions. The Microsoft Windows
SDK may be consulted for function names and parameters.
- a more convenient higher level interface
that makes the API much
more accessible.
Windows Inspection Tool Set
The
Windows Inspection Tool Set (WiTS)
is an application based on TWAPI that provides
cross-linked, filtered views into a Windows system.
These views include list views with
optional filtering and sorting capabilities, and detailed
property page views for individual objects. Where
applicable, views are linked to allow for easy
navigation between related objects.
