How to get list opened windows in PyGTK or GTK or other programming language? in Ubuntu?
edit:
i want get list paths opened directories on desktop!
You probably want to use libwnck:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/libwnck/stable/
I believe there are python bindings in python-gnome or some similar package.
Once you have the GTK+ mainloop running, you can do the following:
import wnck window_list = wnck.screen_get_default().get_windows()
Some interesting methods on a window from that list are get_name() and activate().
This will print the names of windows to the console when you click the button. But for some reason I had to click the button twice. This is my first time using libwnck so I'm probably missing something. :-)
import pygtk pygtk.require('2.0') import gtk, wnck class WindowLister: def on_btn_click(self, widget, data=None): window_list = wnck.screen_get_default().get_windows() if len(window_list) == 0: print "No Windows Found" for win in window_list: print win.get_name() def __init__(self): self.window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL) self.button = gtk.Button("List Windows") self.button.connect("clicked", self.on_btn_click, None) self.window.add(self.button) self.window.show_all() def main(self): gtk.main() if __name__ == "__main__": lister = WindowLister() lister.main()
