that means i need to create a workaround to replace top_window()

Also for “uia” backend top window can be child of main form. In this case it should look like app.MainFormTitle.child_window(control_type=“window”, active_only=True).

wouldnt app.MainFormTitle.child_window() will return all the handles of the windows active in the screen??

I am currently facing problem in getting the top active window. My problem statement is to deal with the following situation: if i click a button and nothing happens i.e no window or dialog box is generated, then who to continue the flow so that it doesnt breaks the entire script.

You can check that some window didn’t open by app.MainWindowTitle.SubwindowTitle.wait_not(“exists”, timeout=10) during 10 seconds. Or use method .exists(timeout=10) which returns True/False instead of raising exception.

.child_window() creates window specification (to find automatically or to apply .wait()/.wait_not()), it doesn’t list all children. Method .children() or .descendants() is what you need to list child controls.

You can find section “Waiting for long operations” in the docs after reading the Getting Started Guide.

Здравствуйте, в UIA прошелся инспектором по меню. отрыть 2го уровня меню удалось, но никак не может нажать на кнопку. Использовал, click, invoke, select , - падает просто указывая на строку вызова. app.UntitledNotepad.menu_select("File -> Exit") - работает, в другом приложении не работает - main_window.MenuSelect('Setup->Securities & Parties->Securities').click() - не работает. Cмог открыть меню, не не позволяет нажать на поледий отрытый елемент:
main_window.window(control_type="MenuBar", title="CrdMenuStrip").child_window(control_type="MenuItem", title="Setup").select()
main_window.window(control_type="MenuBar", title="CrdMenuStrip").child_window(control_type="MenuItem", title="Setup").\
child_window(control_type="MenuItem", title="Securities & Parties").select()
main_window.window(control_type="MenuBar", title="CrdMenuStrip").child_window(control_type="MenuItem", title="Setup"). \
child_window(control_type="MenuItem", title="Securities & Parties").child_window(control_type="MenuItem", title="Securities").click()

вегда вылетает ошибка:
def init(self, errors='strict'):
IncrementalDecoder.init(self, errors)

    # undecoded input that is kept between calls to decode()
    self.buffer = b""

All i did id is to change main_window.MenuSelect('Setup->Securities & Parties->Securities').click() to this main_window.menu_select('Setup->Securities & Parties->Securities') and it worked.

Здравствуйте, Василий.

Кажется, что print_control_identifiers() обходит далеко не все объекты, если backend='uia'

Например, Inspect.exe в режиме UI Automation находит гораздо больше "детей", когда print_control_identifiers() от основного окна находит только "родителя".

python:
[IN]
import pywinauto

a = pywinauto.application.Application(backend='uia')
a.connect(process=3936)
p = a.window()
p.print_control_identifiers()

[OUT]
Control Identifiers:

Dialog - '1С:Предприятие - ERP' (L551, T144, R1460, B764)
['1С:Предприятие - ERPDialog', 'Dialog', '1С:Предприятие - ERP']
child_window(title="1С:Предприятие - ERP", control_type="Window")

Хотя Inspect.exe от MS SDK показывает, что элементов целая уйма. Кнопок, тулбаров и пр

Roman Isakov

@Xcqcr_gitlab

Да, могу сказать, что print_control_identifiers() возвращает аналогичное количество значений, что и Inspect, если backend=win32

Но использовать backend=win32 вообще не мой вариант, ибо там нужно вручную каждый элемент искать (имена кривые, никак не ассоциировать)

Roman Isakov

@Xcqcr_gitlab

А, да, еще есть маленькое добавление - py_inspect, который Вы написали, отлично строит дерево. У меня есть подозрение, что print_control_identifiers(), которая относится к Application не эквивалентна перебору def __get_next(self, element_info, parent) в py_inspect.

Vasily Ryabov

@vasily-v-ryabov

Добрый день. Возможно, это известная проблема с неправильным пробросов флага visible_only=True, который глотает hidden элемент вместе с поддеревом, хотя в поддереве есть visible контролы. Вот ссылка на issue: pywinauto/pywinauto#596

К сожалению, в dump_tree / print_control_identifiers это не обойдёшь без фикса. А вот в .child_window() можно явно прописать visible_only=False. Несколько неудобно, но пока так.

Попробуем посмотреть и впихнуть в надвигающийся апдейт релиз 0.6.6.

hello everyone~

app = Application(backend='uia')
app.start(r'../hello.net.exe')

in this case, i want to get the coordinate of the window.

please help me~~~

Vasily Ryabov

@vasily-v-ryabov

app.window(title=“Window Title”).rectangle() ?

_fantasticDev_

@SnakeGeneral

thank you sir

but i can't know the title

do you know Battle.net.exe?

@vasily-v-ryabov

shall i send you the source URL?

@SnakeGeneral let’s start from app.windows() then. Try method .window_text() for every wrapper object returned in a list of app.windows().

_fantasticDev_

@SnakeGeneral

yes

thank you sir

Hello, I have error, can U help me?

def tab1_check(self):
app3 = Application()
app3.start(tab1_path_to_sitelink)

    s_o_d = app2.window(process=f'{tab1_connect}')

raise ProcessNotFoundError('Process with PID={} not found!'.format(self.process))

pywinauto.application.ProcessNotFoundError: Process with PID=16508 not found!

Vasily Ryabov

@vasily-v-ryabov

process param is an integer PID (process id). Why using f-string? :) Also it’s possible that you face the launcher process that spawns a child one. Use connect by title with optional timeout to connect to proper process. We have feature request to implement auto detection of child processes, but it’s not expected soon.

hello all can anyone advice the best setup approach for the pywinauto over win10 64 bit ?

tried python 3.8.1, 3.6 and no luck i always get AttributeError: module 'pywinauto' has no attribute 'application'
using pycharm and the python console works ok when i state from pywinauto import Application

Vasily Ryabov

@vasily-v-ryabov

Hi @draconlord do you mean Python 3.7.6? Both these Python versions have wrong fix for “passing union by value”. The wrong fix is already reverted in Python. Wait for Python 3.8.2 or use 3.8.0 or 3.7.5.

Mohamed Hamdy

@draconlord

@vasily-v-ryabov thank buddy i got it working now

i have a question the app im trying to automate uses check box list not detected by any GUI inspection tool, i know this is app related but i thought you guys could help its a C++ app and i even cant get this dialog using resource hacker either its identified as "pane" class = GLISTCLASS

Vasily Ryabov

@vasily-v-ryabov

@draconlord is it GTK+ app? Everything is bad with GTK on Windows. Really the worst case.

Linux is much much better working with GTK from accessibility point of view.

@aswathy53408765_twitter let's continue in this room in English.

Mohamed Hamdy

@draconlord

@vasily-v-ryabov it's windows based and all I can get from sniffers scans that it's a VC++ mfc app and not readable by any automation app i.e: ranorex just an element and a scroll bar

Vasily Ryabov

@vasily-v-ryabov

@draconlord I’m in doubt if this is really MFC app. All MFC apps are perfect for automation. Maybe only top level window is an MFC container that contains GTK+ components as children. Can you provide a few screenshots from Inspect.exe in UI Automation mode? For the list and for the main window?
