Is there any way to make pywinauto find a window just with a part of the title?
This is my code:
import pywinauto
pwa_app = pywinauto.application.Application()
w_handle = pywinauto.findwindows.find_windows(title=u'Minitab Professional 5.1 64bit - 3333348.temp.project',
class_name='Window')[0]
The problem is that the number before temp.project changes every time I open the software and because of that I cannot get pywinauto to find the right window.
By skimming the source code on google code, I see you can feed a regex for the title :
#=========================================================================
def find_windows(class_name = None,
class_name_re = None,
parent = None,
process = None,
title = None,
title_re = None,
top_level_only = True,
visible_only = True,
enabled_only = False,
best_match = None,
handle = None,
ctrl_index = None,
predicate_func = None,
active_only = False,
control_id = None,
):
"""Find windows based on criteria passed in
Possible values are:
* **class_name** Windows with this window class
* **class_name_re** Windows whose class match this regular expression
* **parent** Windows that are children of this
* **process** Windows running in this process
* **title** Windows with this Text
* **title_re** Windows whose Text match this regular expression
* **top_level_only** Top level windows only (default=True)
* **visible_only** Visible windows only (default=True)
* **enabled_only** Enabled windows only (default=True)
* **best_match** Windows with a title similar to this
* **handle** The handle of the window to return
* **ctrl_index** The index of the child window to return
* **active_only** Active windows only (default=False)
* **control_id** Windows with this control id
"""
According to me pywinauto.findwindows.find_windows(title_re = r'Minitab Professional 5.1 64bit*', class_name='Window')[0] should work.
