Hi, 

I am a Amateur in python and an doing some work on Python and Win32 APIs
.
One of my task includes finding the active window , during any
installation proces and proceed ......
Take an instance : I connect a USB device say a USB printer to the USB
port , as soon as it connects we get a pop-up saying "New Hardware Found
" 
I need to detect that popup , and then proceed with the other
installation steps if that popup occurs :

Trying to check its appearance with the following command : 

#!/usr/local/bin/python
Import os , win32gui, win32ui 

hWnd = win32ui.FindWindowEx(win32gui.GetDesktopWindow(), None,
"wndclass_desked_gsk",None)


Getting the following message : 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
win32ui: No window can be found.

Please provide inputs on this , will be of great help for me to start
with .......
