Dear pywin32 group:
Recently i bump into a case where i cannot get text from a window field
directly.
So i try to type ctrl+a and ctrl+c , and then use win32clipboard to read data
from clipboard
However, i always get data from the previous "ctrl+a ctrl+c", not the latest one
In order to get the latest clipboard data , i have to perform "ctrl+a ctrl+c"
in another thread
Should this be a bug?
FYI ,I'm using Windows10 , Python 3.6.4rc1
def chooseAndCopyResult(app,windowName,editIdx): allEdits =
app.window(title_re='.*{}.*'.format(windowName)).children(control_type='Edit')
allEdits[editIdx].set_focus().type_keys('^A').type_keys('^C') #this one
does not return the latest clipboard but the previous clipboard def
readResultFromOCR(app,windowName,editIdx):
chooseAndCopyResult(app,windowName,editIdx) win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
data = win32clipboard.GetClipboardData() win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
return data # this one works, and get the latest data from clipboard
def readResultFromOCRWorking(app,windowName,editIdx): thread =
Thread(target=chooseAndCopyResult,args=(app,windowName,editIdx))
thread.start() thread.join() win32clipboard.OpenClipboard() data =
win32clipboard.GetClipboardData() win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
return data_______________________________________________
