That's the primary reason I wrote UI Browser, and it's the primary  
motivator for people to buy it. The hierarchy of UI elements is not at  
all obvious in most applications, and in some there are even hidden  
objects in the hierarchy. UI Browser makes it really easy to see the  
hierarchy -- especially when you use UI Browser's highlight feature  
and hotkeys or the screen reader.
