Win32gui.SetWindowPos(HWND,win32con.HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, win32con.SWP_NOMOVE + win32con.SWP_NOSIZE) win32gui.ShowWindow(HWND, win32con.SW_RESTORE) Next, import what you need from pywinauto: from pywinauto.findwindows import find_windowįrom pywinauto.win32functions import SetForegroundWindowįinally, it's just one actual line: SetForegroundWindow(find_window(title= 'taskeng.exe'))Īccording to nspire, I've tried his solution with python 2.7 and W8, and it works like a charm, even if the window is minimized *. Just run this from the command line (not from within Python): pip install pywinauto For everyone else, update Python to get it (or you can manually download and install it by running this script, if you must run an older version of Python.) If you're on Python 2.7.9 or a newer version on the 2 branch, or Python 3.4.0 or a newer version from the 3 branch, pip is already installed. So here's my solution:įirst, install pywinauto via pip. I don't like these suggestions of using win32gui because you can't easily install that via pip. a way to enable, on my machine, a way for any application to take focus. I'm writing this in python, but if there is a solution in another language I will use wrappers or do whatever is necessarry to get this up and running.ĮDIT: I'd be open to a way to make it work only on my particular computer, i.e. However, unless my window is the foreground window (which it isn't usually), this just causes the program's icon to flash.Īm I doing the thread attaching wrong? Is there another way to work around this? I figure there must be, as there are lots of application switchers out there that seem to be able to do this just fine. Win32process.AttachThreadInput(fg, win32api.GetCurrentThreadId(), False) Win32process.AttachThreadInput(fg, current, True) Note that it's using the win32 wrappers for python (self.hwnd is the handle of the window I want to bring to the front): fgwin = win32gui.GetForegroundWindow()įg = win32process.GetWindowThreadProcessId(fgwin) I've adapted my code from the following examples, which say that attaching to the foreground thread should allow you to set the foreground window. The Windows API documentation says that this is what is supposed to happen, but I'm looking for a way to work around this. However, my code simply causes the application icon to flash in the taskbar.
I'd like to implement it such that I can bring an arbitrary window to the foreground, much like a taskbar or an ALT-TAB program would.
It's doing some unique stuff with OpenGL, and with keyboard shortcuts, so the way it's set up, the window doesn't always have focus. I'm implementing a task-bar replacement, dock-like application-switcher style program.
