It was very good. I have a doubt, what if two dialogs with the same name are opened?


62. Dieu Cao Thu, 30 Sep 2010 12:20

thanks for the demo.


61. john Wed, 29 Sep 2010 17:26

thanx, would be helpful to say at the end where to learn more, i.e. how do u determine control names, etc.

pywinauto looks really pythonic!


60. Phil Mayes Fri, 10 Sep 2010 09:53

V cool. I have a complex wxPython app that BADLY needs more than unit testing; this looks significantly more usable than anything I have run into. Thanks for the demo!


59. Andy Tue, 24 Aug 2010 04:57

Useful informative video. Thanks


58. Andrew French Wed, 04 Aug 2010 20:05

A very nice and concise video, thanks for the nice presentation! Left out though is mention of how to identify the names of the underlying gui objects. I suppose this is obvious to most people, but not to me.


57. eko Mon, 02 Aug 2010 07:42

nice video...


56. Vinod Kumar G Sun, 01 Aug 2010 23:36

The video was wonderfull showcasing th basic capability of pywinauto.

One thing which I feel missed was about ToolBar. How can we handle toolbar click in IDE's such as eclipse and MSVS or select a combo from toolbar.

If possible can you help me with this.


55. Jeff England Fri, 16 Jul 2010 07:56

This is a simple and concise example.

Just what is needed to get started.

Thank you for making this topic come to life with this 'short and sweet' example.


54. jj Wed, 09 Jun 2010 05:32

very good


53. Ulrich Reich Wed, 02 Jun 2010 05:44

really useful


52. Lawrence Allan Jones Tue, 18 May 2010 15:37

Great demo!

It really helped me to understand how easy pywinauto is to use to drive a UI.


51. Patrick Wed, 21 Apr 2010 06:44

Looks great! I will be starting soon


50. GertJan Mon, 05 Apr 2010 13:33

Interesting video.. enough to make me want to examine pyWinAuto further.


49. john Wed, 24 Mar 2010 18:03

very nice.


48. leonard Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:08

Thanks , Two question: 1. Could you please make a video about how to setup the envioroment to run pywinauto, 2. you guys still working on this? Any new release?


47. Bruce Nehlsen Sat, 13 Mar 2010 22:04

nice demo of pywinauto. especially useful since SF didn't have any (easily found, anyway) docs for it.

Thanks!


46. lzhang Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:41

This is very helpful to know how to use it.


45. David Hickok Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:34

Thanks, you show how easy it is to drive an app.


44. Alex Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:42

Very helpful and concise - Great work Jeff


43. Anders E Mon, 25 Jan 2010 08:59

Very nice. Short and to the point.


42. Ronny Tue, 19 Jan 2010 09:23

Thanks for the video, gives the basic idea and it looks like thats what I was looking for. We want to build a simple gesture control with a webcam, and were not sure how to handle Windows without much hassle.


41. Maryana Fri, 15 Jan 2010 03:15

Hi,

Very interesting. Can you make this application show results? Like check that form is not displayed any mor eor text is present?

Thanks,


40. anonymous Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:17

Great demo.


39. anonymous Mon, 04 Jan 2010 14:38

Really nice quick examples! I would have liked more complex examples. ;-)


38. anonymous Sat, 02 Jan 2010 06:12

Thanks for the pyautowin video. Getting past those first few steps is always hard for me. Now I know exactly how to start.


37. anonymous Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:32

36. anonymous Thu, 10 Dec 2009 02:53

Educating the Open-source Community With Showmedo

Although as important as the software it supports, education and documentation are relatively neglected in the Open-source world. Coders love to code, and explaining how best to use or improve the software tends to be deferred or even sidelined.

At Showmedo we believe the community can play a vital role here and also say thanks for the tools and software that make our lives easier. If you have a piece of software you love or a programming langugage you are enthusiastic about, why not make a screencast showing others how to use it? All the stuff you wish you'd been told, the tips, tricks, insights that would have saved you time and frustration.

Screencasting is easier than you think, and we're happy to help you. You can emailus for advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site. This screencasting learning-pathis a good place to start.

Kudos and Thanks for Jeff

Thank you! I'm picking up python for some heavy log file crunching and automatic unit may very well turn out to be really useful.
