What is the difference between CodedUI and UISpy? Does both use same mechanism? I need to implement support for UISPY in my own custom grid control[WinForms] to recognize each cell as like in the MS DataGridView. currently UISPY recognizes my entire control but not individual cell.
Any help would be highly appreciated

I'm not sure how UISpy works but CodedUI uses the UI Automation framework to access the UI components in an app.
Regardless, you might want to look at using something like HawkEye or WinForms Spy as a starting point for doing what you need.
The UI Spy tool is obsolete and no longer available. Developers should use other tools such as Inspect.exe that are available in the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK).
