Note that really need to look for a unique string so that you bring up the right window. Once we find it, we use win32gui's ShowWindow and SetForegroundWindow methods to bring the application to the foreground. But for our purposes, we will skip that and just loop over the list, looking for the word "Notepad". You can print that our and inspect your results if you like. Once that's done, your top_windows list will be full of lots of items, most of which you didn't even know were running. It works kind of like a messed up decorator. So we pass it our method and it enumerates the windows, passing a handle of each window plus our Python list to our function. According to the documentation, the EnumWindows method "Enumerates all top-level windows on the screen by passing the handle to each window, in turn, to an application-defined callback function". Then we call win32gui's EnumWindows method, which takes a callback and an extra argument that is a Python object. We write a little function that takes a window handle and a Python list. We only need PyWin32's win32gui module for this little script. Win32gui.EnumWindows(windowEnumerationHandler, top_windows) Top_windows.append((hwnd, win32gui.GetWindowText(hwnd)))
Open up Notepad and then put some other application's window in front of it.ĭef windowEnumerationHandler(hwnd, top_windows): I like to use Notepad for testing as I know it will be on every Windows desktop in existence. We will need to choose something to bring to the front. If you'd like to follow along, you will need to download and install your own copy of PyWin32. A long time ago, Tim Golden (and possibly some other fellows on the PyWin32 mailing list) showed me how to make windows come to the front on Windows XP, although it should be noted that it also works on Windows 7. I recently saw someone asking how to bring a window to the front in Windows and I realized I had had some old unreleased code that might help someone with this task.
