[python-win32] how to activate subwindow of the application ???

[neha rai]

Hi Tim and Mike,

As Tim said "whatever piece of code you're running
in the first place to open the window can persist whatever pieces of data it
needs to open the same window again."

First time the window is opened by the user, user can pick any window on
which it needs to work (in my case window are is subwindow of a application)
My code identifies the window by using :
hand=win32gui.GetForegroundWindow()
My code performs action on the window and closes it.. now i want it to open
automatically.


I hope its more clear now..

Please let me know if  any of you have a way to do this.

Thanks
Neha
