Hi Mark,

Thanks for contacting us and for your question.

RadControlSpy tool allows for browsing the element tree and the properties of the different elements of a control at runtime. You can also change the values of the elements' properties and thus see how the properties affect the behavior/visual appearance of the corresponding element. The RadControlSpy is also useful from a developer perspective since it can help to trace down the root style of an element (in other words, which element is the style provider for a given element) etc.

You might find it useful reading our online help regarding the RadControlSpy tool:

I hope this is helpful. Do not hesitate to write back in case you have further questions or need assistance.
