The subject disclosure relates to capturing window definitions of an executing user interface application and/or website and generating an editable model representation. A starter storyboard or screens can be generated quickly by recording a manipulation of an existing application or website. States associated with a multitude of user interface control hierarchies of a target application are captured, stored in a generic user interface model, and used for generation of mockups, code, and so forth. In an aspect, an indication is received that an application or website is be captured. Thereafter, the state of the website or application window and subsequent windows are observed and captured. For each of the subsequent windows traversed in a live control hierarchy, basic information about each item is captured. The information gathered for a given window and its control hierarchy can be serialized into a simple XML representation. |
