[python-win32] Help needed : FindWindowEx

[Amit Arora]

This helps a lot,  there was actually a confusion in window names as you
mentioned . I tried this now for notepad while opening notepad on
desktop , it worked :)
 
Import win32gui 
hWnd = win32ui.FindWindowEx(win32gui.GetDesktopWindow(),
None,"Notepad",None)

Value of hWnd I get :  
object 'PyCWnd' - assoc is 00B4E620, vi=<None>, notify=0,ch/u=0/0, mh=0,
kh=0

Should this be applicable to locate popups on desktop (may be during an
application installation, as we get like - while connecting a new
hardware on USB - "New Hardware found" ) , guess there's an API
AnyPopup() for this,  any imputs on this will be of great help too .....

Regards,
~Amit Arora

A couple things to check:
Are you sure the window class name is correct ?
Is the desktop window actually its parent ?
