[python-win32] recording GUI events for playback (Java application)

[tim.fulcher at bt.com]

Hi

I'm looking to automate driving a sequence of steps of an application running on windows. I'm looking at pywinauto as a possible mechanism which maybe can do what I need. But what I'd really like is a record facility that could capture the events so I can glean how to write the necessary steps. Is there such a thing out there?

Here's the kicker though - the app I want to drive is java based. I'm actually wondering if this approach will work at all - for example despite connecting to the process with a pywinauto script I couldn't seem to get to the menu structure. Beause its running in a JVM does it make all the UI interaction opaque from windows ?

Thanks

Tim
