I have a very strange problem.
I am writing a script with Pywinauto for automatic testing on an application. I have to open a window by clicking on a button named "FATO".
For the previous version of the application, the script worked well. When I use print_control_identifiers(), I find the correct name and the button type : uia_controls.ButtonWrapper - 'FATO ', Button
In the new version of the application, the script doesn't work anymore. It doesn't find the button: uiawrapper.UIAWrapper - '', Pane
According to the developer, there was no change on this button. What is strange is that all the buttons of the toolbar have the same behaviour.
What is the 'Pane' type and why Pywinauto does not recognize the button's name and its type anymore ?

I installed WinPython64-3.9.2.0 on my Windows 10 laptop.
I tried to make a GUI with Qt Designer, but when I click on Form and then on View Python Code... I get the following warning message:
Unable to launch
C:WPy64-3910\python-3.9.1.amd64\lib\site-packages\pyqt_tools\Qt\bin\bin\uic:
Process failed to start: The system cannot find the file specified.
I click on OK and I don't get the Python code of the GUI.
Please, can you help me?
The solution is to open the Start menu and click Settings, type "Edit environment variables for your account" and click on it. You will get a new window called "Environmental Variables". Click "New" under "User variables for username" and you will get another window.
Next to "variable name:" write "Path" and next to "Variable value:" write
C:\WPy64-3910\python-3.9.1.amd64 ; C:\WPy64-3910\python-3.9.1.amd64\Scripts
Note that I used a semicolumn to separate the two paths.
In case you use LaTex editors like Texmaker remember to add also this after a semicolumn:
C:\Users\ username \AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\
Otherwise Texmaker won't work.
How to get the right click context menu in a Windows application using Python, do not set the position of the cursor and when not focus that Windows application.
Context menu is not the Explorer context menu, it is the Windows application right click context menu.
Here is an example for Notepad:
app.UntitledNotepad.Edit.Click(button='right') # works
app.PopupMenu.MenuSelect('Paste') # seems not working when Notepad is not in focus
# though it works when app.UntitledNotepad.SetFocus() is called before
app.PopupMenu.MenuSelect('Paste') may not work in such a case because probably WM_COMMAND can be sent to a focused window only. To get it to work use app.PopupMenu.MenuItem('Paste').ClickInput() though your app window will get to focus any way.
So finally there are 2 working examples. The first is:
app.UntitledNotepad.SetFocus()
app.UntitledNotepad.Edit.Click(button='right')
app.PopupMenu.MenuSelect('Paste')
The second is:
app.UntitledNotepad.Edit.Click(button='right')
app.PopupMenu.MenuItem('Paste').ClickInput()
I am trying to find and click a hidden icon on the taskbar (shown by clicking the white triangle) in windows 7, using python. I've been trying to use pywinauto for this, but it doesn't seem to have the functionality to find and click one of these hidden icons. Even the taskbar module in pywinauto doesn't work (possibly due to being outdated). How can I do this?
The application I am trying to access for automation can only be shown by clicking on its hidden icon in the taskbar. By hidden icon, I mean in the notification area.
I've tried pywinauto.taskbar.SystemTrayIcons, but the DrawOutline method shows that this is the wrong area of the taskbar. And using taskbar.SystemTrayIcons.WrapperObject().Button(0) does not work anyway, but gives a GetButtonInfo failed exception.
I've also tried using SWAPY to create python code for finding and clicking the relevant buttons, and although it can click the button (helpfully named 'Button') to show the hidden icons, it does not show how to then click those icons.
Install latest version of pywinauto on 64-bit Python (2.7 or 3.4, it doesn't matter) and run the following code:
from pywinauto import taskbar
taskbar.TaskBar.Button.click_input()
popup_dlg = taskbar.explorer_app.window(class_name='NotifyIconOverflowWindow')
popup_toolbar = popup_dlg.Overflow_Notification_Area
print(popup_toolbar.texts()[1:])
Further you can press interested button based on retrieved texts:
popup_toolbar.button('your program name').click_input(double=True)
EDIT (2019, January): this code may not work for latest Windows 10 RS1+ because notification icons area was changed significantly, though it should work for Win7 and Win8.1.
I am using TkInter to develop a simple application for Mac OSX in python.
I am wondering how to set the 'default button' for a dialog in tkinter. See the human interface guidelines to see what this means.
Is this even possible?
Both the Button and ttk.Button widgets have a default attribute. Setting it to "active" should give you the visual appearance you are looking for. You will need toset the focus to that button and/or add a binding on <Return> to invoke the button.
