Hello,
My searches didn't turn up anything so I'm posting to the group:
I'd like to develop a Python app that periodically scans all open app
windows (browser, Word, Outlook, etc.) for specific keywords. The
idea is to have an alert window popup (using wxPython) as a reminder
to the user to handle certain documents in a special way.
Libraries such as WinGuiAuto.py can apparently check the contents of
forms, but I haven't seen anything to simply identify keyword text
anywhere within an open window. Ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin
