Hi, I am trying to use win32gui.SendMessage API (or PostMessage), and cannot figure out why it is not working. I would appreciate any help! Simple test script I am using is included below.
I am using pywin32-203 and python 2.4, on winxp pro sp2. I am a total newbie to python, so if this is a really dumb question, please do not be surprised. :) I thank you all in advance for any help and guidance you can provide.
