Using PyWinAuto to control a currently running application


Using the following code I can find that the currently running window I want to connect is named "Trade Monitor" how do i successfull connect to it? Using the app.start_ method does not work.

from pywinauto import application
app=application.Application
app.findwindows #prints all windows running on machine

app.window("Trade Monitor") #error

Solution

  • Just use app = Application().connect(title='Trade Monitor', timeout=10). More detailed info is in the docs here.
