I am coding a voice assistant under Python 3.7, Windows 7. I am using
PYcharm and libraries such as PYSimpleGUI, mouse, keyboard etc.
Everything works except for the mouse control and probably keyboard, the
problem is following, when I run the script under PYcharm, the script
can control mouse only within PYcharm editor, but when the other window
is on the top, the script cannot control the mouse, and the same happens
when the script runs under the Python console. There is only one way to
make script control the mouse - I have to manually click on the window
which was opened by the script only then the script controls the mouse.
I tried to call win32gui.SetCapture without any effect.
Does anyone have an idea how to handle this? Thank you very much,
Are you asking to be able to start a Python application in one window,
which will control the mouse and keyboard in other concurrent
applications' windows?
I don't use MS-Windows, but don't think this is possible (under any OpSys).
As you say "and probably keyboard": imagine typing and having the text
appear in every open window/application? If you don't want that, how do
you indicate which one should accept the input? Answer: "focus" = the
'target' for any typing is the application/window which currently has focus.
Extending those thoughts to the mouse doesn't quite ring-true, because
I'm currently in 'this' window writing an email message, yet the mouse
will cheerfully scroll the window 'below'. Is that the sort of action
you wish?
In my experience, the Python application, including "mouse", only
operates in "user space" and within the one window. If we can extend
Python's power and dominion, I'll be interested to learn...
Meantime, there are demo snippets which follow the mouse, printing its
coordinates. Using one of those, what happens to the coordinates when
the mouse is moved outside of the Python application's window?
BTW you may like to take a look at PyAutoGUI, if only because it has
been more recently updated. It may also help by bringing 'everything'
under one import rather than the multiple packages (listed above):
