Hello everybody ! I'm used to work under Linux/Unix environnement, but i've to deal with the windows API which i didn't know anything about a few hours ago. I think that my questions are pywin32 related even if it seems purely a problem with the win32 api. I hope it's not a problem.
Here is my story. I create a process via the CreateProcess function, and i wait using WaitForInputIdle to be sure that the process is in ready state, it works well (ie: the process is launched). I send a message via PostMessage and i'd like to know if the command had been correctly processed, and i don't know how to do it. But, although the application is in ready state, some hardware initialization has to be done and seems not to be accomplished when WaitForInputIdle returns. The message i posted using PostMessage is correctly processed, but nothing appends since the ressource i need were not yet initialized. If i introduce a time.sleep(2) between the WaitForInputIdle and the PostMessage function, everything is working fine. On the msdn site, the PostMessage function returns a BOOL, but since this is an asynchrone function, the return value just means that the message has been posted without problem. Am i correct ? By the way, how do i check for this return value with pywin32 ? All message related function seems to return None. Hope my explanation is clear. Thanks you for any insights ! _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
