How to get a specific Windows hwnd with win32gui?
To get a specific window handle (HWND) with the win32gui
library in Python, you can use the FindWindow
function. Here's an example of how to accomplish this:
pythonimport win32gui
def get_window_handle(window_title):
hwnd = win32gui.FindWindow(None, window_title)
return hwnd
# Example usage
window_title = "My Window Title"
hwnd = get_window_handle(window_title)
if hwnd:
print("Window found! HWND:", hwnd)
else:
print("Window not found.")
In the code above, the get_window_handle
function takes a window_title
parameter, which represents the title of the window you want to find. The FindWindow
function from the win32gui
module is then used to search for a window with the specified title. If the window is found, the corresponding HWND is returned.
Make sure to provide the exact window title as it appears on the target window. The search is case-sensitive.
If the window is found, the HWND is returned. If the window is not found, the FindWindow
function returns 0
(null). You can check for the validity of the HWND using an if
condition.
By using FindWindow
in the win32gui
library, you can search for and retrieve the HWND of a specific window based on its title.
