I tried using the InvalidateRect but it had not effect. Below is the code I used.
TCM_SETCURSEL = 0x130C win32gui.SendMessage(hwnd, TCM_SETCURSEL, 3, 0) win32gui.InvalidateRect(hwnd, None, True) I'm thinking I need to send the TCN_SELCHANGE message to the window, but I don't know how to do that. From googling I find out I need to use WM_NOTIFY and here's what I've got so far: win32gui.SendMessage(hwnd, win32con.WM_NOTIFY, I'm having trouble finding the value for TCN_SELCHANGE as it's not wrapped in win32con nor is it defined on the msdn website. How frustrating... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760569(VS.85).aspx I also don't understand how to construct the final parameter for TCN_SELCHANGE. Thanks again for the help. -Kyle Rickey -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Roberts Sent: Friday, December 05, 2008 6:34 PM To: Python-Win32 List Subject: Re: [python-win32] Simulating a mouse click - lParam Rickey, Kyle W wrote: > Thanks Tim.

After you send TCM_SETCURSEL, you should be able to call InvalidateRect to force the window to redraw. Do you have the Windows SDK installed? You can use the "spyxx" tool to explore the window configuration of the app you're examining. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
