win32gui is a C++ library typically used in Server, Runtime Evironment applications. win32gui has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Instead of writing CreateWindowEx everywhere and remebering all the constants, flags, and messages that go for each control, I made this helper library that wraps around the Windows API and makes it fast and easy to develop simple GUI applications on Windows platform.

According to [MS.Docs]: PatBlt function (wingdi.h), the rectangle is specified in (x, y, w, h) format, meaning the last 2 values are not the lower right corner coordinates, but width and height.

As a consequence, if you translate the x of the upper left corner, by n pixels and w by -n, the lower right x will remain unmodified. To have the 2 xes symmetrical in relation with the center ('s x), you should subtract twice the value:

Initial:
- upper_left_x0 = i
- lower_right_x0 = i + w0
Move both n towards center:
- upper_left_x1 = i + n
- lower_right_x1 = i + w0 - n

You may use PIL for converting dataBitMap to PIL Image object as demonstrated here.
Use array = np.asarray(im) for converting im to NumPy array.

The pixel format is supposed to be BGRA.

Cx_freeze bdist_msi directories syntax? how to interpret 'directory_table'

Asked 2022-Feb-08 at 15:37

I am having trouble creating new directories with the MSI generated with cx_freeze. I don't understand the windows direcotry_tables object and there is little to no documentation explaining it. has anyone had any success with this?

here is the documentation for the setup script for cx_freeze bdist_msi.

similar windows documentation on 'directory tables'

I would like my installer to create a directory in C:\ProgramData but I can't figure out what arguments to use in the "directory_table" 3 tuple to do this. Below is the default example directory table which works with no errors but I am not sure where the directory is actually put.

Ended up using an Inno Script to create my MSI. would still like to know how to do with with cx_freeze.

see documentation for inno scripting here. much easier and simply process for building windows installers:

use pipreqs to create a requirements.txt for my project
build virtual environment with that requirments.txt
create a cx_freeze setup.py script to create MyApp.exe

How do I start a pygame app in maximized mode on Linux?

Asked 2022-Feb-04 at 05:12

Before I start, this is not a duplicate of How do you start Pygame window maximized? I am on Linux which the win32gui and win32con libraries do not run on.

What I'm trying to do as stated by the title is maximize my pygame window when it is run. I do not want the game to be fullscreen by using the pygame.FULLSCREEN tag in pygame.display.set_mode(). I want it to be maximized.

My current way of getting it maximized is by creating the window with the pygame.RESIZEABLE flag which allows me to get the pygame.VIDEOEXPOSE event as shown in the example below.

Load font file with Windows api Python

Asked 2022-Jan-25 at 01:17

I was looking for a way to load a ttf file and print text with that font. While looking for some information, I found this question: load a ttf font with the Windows API

In that question they recommend adding a private font with AddFontResourceEx. But I didn't find any way to access such function with pywin32 module and ctypes.windll. Is there any way to access this function? Or failing that, another way to print text with a ttf font without using Pillow???

I'm trying to automate an application on Python that deal with browser window.
I need to add applications to a list after I open then, so I can go back to their window at anytime easily.

From the code below I'm able to get the application: pywinauto.application.Application object at 0x0000020C78574FA0

But if I try to add to a list from the command applications.extend(app) I get the error:

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Jan-13 at 06:28

Instead of applications.extend(app) Add the current window to list like this :
applications.append(GetForegroundWindow())

And later use it like this (I mean activating the browser windows) :
SetForegroundWindow(applications[0])

Both the Functions are the implementation win32gui.

QUESTION

How do I Check a Folder's 'hidden' Attribute in Python?

Asked 2021-Dec-23 at 16:32

I am working on a load/save module (a GUI written in Python) that will be used with and imported to future programs. My operating system is Windows 10. The problem I've run into is that my get_folders() method is grabbing ALL folder names, including ones that I would rather ignore, such as system folders and hidden folders (best seen on the c-drive).

I have a work around using a hard-coded exclusion list. But this only works for folders already on the list, not for hidden folders that my wizard may come across in the future. I would like to exclude ALL folders that have their 'hidden' attribute set. I would like to avoid methods that require installing new libraries that would have to be re-installed whenever I wipe my system. Also, if the solution is non-Windows specific, yet will work with Windows 10, all the better.

I have searched SO and the web for an answer but have come up empty. The closest I have found is contained in Answer #4 of this thread: Check for a folder, then create a hidden folder in Python, which shows how to set the hidden attribute when creating a new directory, but not how to read the hidden attribute of an existing directory.

Here is my Question: Does anyone know of a way to check if a folder's 'hidden' attribute is set, using either native python, pygame, or os. commands? Or, lacking a native answer, I would accept an imported method from a library that achieves my goal.

The following program demonstrates my get_folders() method, and shows the issue at hand:

I've briefly looked a bit over [GitHub]: asweigart/PyGetWindow - PyGetWindow. I strongly suggest against using it as it's buggy (at least the current version):

Major, generic, conceptual flaw. It uses CTypes, but in an incorrect manner. I wonder how come there aren't a lot of bugs submitted against it. Check [SO]: C function called from Python via ctypes returns incorrect value (@CristiFati's answer) for more details
In your particular case, an exception is raised. That behavior is incorrect (you get error code 0, which means success (ERROR_SUCCESS)). [MS.Docs]: SetForegroundWindow function (winuser.h) doesn't specify using GetLastError if the function fails (doesn't do what it should). It's just the window couldn't be brought to front because of some of the mentioned reasons

Since you tagged your question for PyWin32, you could use that.
