I'm trying to read the text from a popup window.
The title is always the same. I've managed to identify the hwnd and get the title with the code below, but I can't figure out how to read the contents.
import time
import win32gui, win32con
windows = []
def _MyCallback( hwnd, extra ):
extra.append(hwnd)
win32gui.EnumWindows(_MyCallback, windows)
while True:
window = win32gui.GetForegroundWindow()
title = win32gui.GetWindowText(window)
if title == 'Errors occurred': print 'error window'
time.sleep(1)
Here's the working version:
import time
import win32gui
while True:
window = win32gui.GetForegroundWindow()
title = win32gui.GetWindowText(window)
if title == 'Errors occurred':
control = win32gui.FindWindowEx(window, 0, "static", None)
print 'text: ', win32gui.GetWindowText(control)
time.sleep(1)
I don't have access to the framework or the error dialog you are using, so I can only say in general what you want.
You need the FindWindowEx function, and use it to find a control whose class name is 'static' (or whatever the class name of the control is). I imagine this would be the line:
control = win32gui.FindWindowEx(window, 0, "Static", 0)
That returns the handle to the control, and you can then use GetWindowText on that to get the text.
