Until I get around to writing some docs and examples, the tests at the foot of this module should serve to get you started. ''' import array import ctypes import os import struct import sys import win32api import win32con import win32gui def findTopWindow(wantedText=None, wantedClass=None, selectionFunction=None): '''Find the hwnd of a top level window. You can identify windows using captions, classes, a custom selection function, or any combination of these. (Multiple selection criteria are ANDed. If this isn't what's wanted, use a selection function.) Arguments: wantedText Text which the required window's captions must contain. wantedClass Class to which the required window must belong. selectionFunction Window selection function. Reference to a function should be passed here. The function should take hwnd as an argument, and should return True when passed the hwnd of a desired window. Raises: WinGuiAutoError When no window found. Usage example: optDialog = findTopWindow(wantedText="Options") ''' topWindows = findTopWindows(wantedText, wantedClass, selectionFunction) if topWindows: return topWindows[0] else: raise WinGuiAutoError("No top level window found for wantedText=" + repr(wantedText) + ", wantedClass=" + repr(wantedClass) + ", selectionFunction=" + repr(selectionFunction)) def findTopWindows(wantedText=None, wantedClass=None, selectionFunction=None): '''Find the hwnd of top level windows.

Arguments: wantedText Text which required windows' captions must contain. wantedClass Class to which required windows must belong. selectionFunction Window selection function. Reference to a function should be passed here. The function should take hwnd as an argument, and should return True when passed the hwnd of a desired window. Returns: A list containing the window handles of all top level windows matching the supplied selection criteria.

Arguments: The window handle of the top level window to dump. Returns A nested list of controls. Each entry consists of the control's hwnd, its text, its class, and its sub-controls, if any.
