How to write code to get focuse the application which is open from server

[vinthan]

hi,
I am new to python. I have to write test cases in python. An
application is open in the desk top ( application writen in .Net) I
have to write code to get focuse the application and click on the link
which in the one side and it will load the map on the other and I have
to check map is loaded. Any one tell me how do I use Dispatch or any
other method to write a code.

If you are running on Windows, look into pywinauto
(http://www.openqa.org/pywinauto/).

I have successfully used it to interact with a Flash animation running
within an IE browser.

I also had to inspect the graphics displayed by the Flash animation, for
this I used PIL (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/).

Good luck,

Re: How to write code to get focuse the application which is open from server

Hi Paul,
Since your reply I try to use pywinauto. I was able to get the control
of a window that is a good news but it is not working for sub window
this main window create.(popup windows)
eg) File -print will open print window but the code is not
clicking print button. I try several combination
app,Print.OK.Cl oseClick() or app,Print.OK.Cl ick() is not working

my code goes like that
app=application .Application()
qi = app.window_(tit le_re = ".*arcMap.* ")
qi.TypeKeys("%F P")
app,Print.OK.Cl ick()

the last line of code is not working same thing with file open to
qi.TypeKeys("%F O") create popup window "open" but
app,Open.Filena me.SetEditText( "test1,txt" ) is not working any help to
overcome to this problem (Here the "Print" , "Open" are windows title I
am using without any undestanding why I am using. Any help?

app.Print looks for a window whose title contains the word "Print"
(does it exist?), inside, looks for a control with "OK" (presumably a
button), and sends it a mouse click event.
There is a forum specific for pywinauto questions - see its homepage.

Hi,

There are better places to find me then on comp.lang.pytho n (just too
much traffic for me)
pywinauto forums: http://forums.openqa.org/forum.jspa?forumID=15
or subscribe pywinauto mailing list:

My guess is that problem above is that teh title of the window is
u"Print - \\Remote", and "Print" is not enough information for
pywinauto to go on.

I suggest you replace the last line with one of the following...
app.PrintRemote .Ok.CloseClick( )
app.window_(tit le_re = "Print - .*").Ok.CloseCl ick()

Someone also was wondering why they do not have to call
Application.Sta rt() or Application.Con nect() explicitly - that is
because the first call to app.window_() will initialize the application
appropriately. The reason for this is that most usages ended up being
a) Connect to a window with specific title, then use that window in the
next line - so I was trying to avoid duplication.

Thanks
Mark
