The notepad demo in the project (examples\notepad*.py) do not touch
the about dialog - so I guess you are looking at the demo on
pywinauto.pbwiki.org.

Only one click should be necessary - for closing dialogs it is a
little safer to use CloseClick() (just because it can take a little
bit of time to close some dialogs - and this methods just waits a
little longer after clicking).

I assume you are using pywinauto from the interactive prompt? The
problem is that it seems notepad doesn't seem to accept the click when
it doesn't have focus. But if you are running this in a script then it
WILL have focus and the Click() will work. (I tried :-) )

Will do :-) do a google for Winspector - which I use all the time.
