    Problems with win32com and IE, WindowState

    Background: I am a newbe trying to store the state of an Internet
    Explorer Application with the use of win32.com and python. I use
    python 2.3.

    Problem 1: The state is accessible, but not the hole state. I am
    missing the possibility to retrieve if the IE is minimized or not,
    also known as WindowState for word application. This could be found by
    detecting that the value of top and left is -32000, but will not help
    me in restoring the value to its old value. I wish to find the
    WindowState for the IE object and if the object is minimized I would
    like to get the Top and Left position of the object if restored.

    Code:
    import win32com.client
    ie=win32com.cli ent.Dispatch('I nternetExplorer .Application')
    ie.Visible=1

    Problem 2: Would like to find out if the favourites toolbar is open or
    not. I can not find out how to retrieve this property.

    Thanks in advance.

      These sound much more like IE- and Windows-specific questions than
      anything to do with Python specifically. I'd suggest checking the
      Microsoft msdn pages for more information about the object model
      in question, since anything you find there should apply equally
      well to Python as it does to VB or C#.
