Try the nuget package: WinForm.Inspector.Tool

Setup documentation

• Instantiate the Inspector in your project.

  Inspector inspector = new Inspector();

• Ignore specific controls ex. buttons.

  inspector.IgnoreTypes = new Type[] { typeof(Button) };

• Skip controls ex. invisible and disabled.

  inspector.SkipChilds = GetChildAtPointSkip.Invisible | GetChildAtPointSkip.Disabled;
