The GetWindowRect example seems fine, for the most part. The docs don't have to
show it being called. If I were to call it, I'd use GetForegroundWindow to get
a window handle. GetActiveWindow returns the active window attached to the
current thread's message queue,

Thanks for the report! I've now updated the example to use MessageBoxw.
Eryk, do you find the second example (GetWindowRect) is useful? Can we make it
more usable? Unless I'm missing something, we need to pass the return value of
GetActiveWindow() to make it

There is an example in the ctypes python3 documentation for producing a native
Windows MessageBoxA

Try as I might, I cannot get this example to run under python 3 (it is in the
python3

all snippets are tested with 'doctest' so I have added the 'tests' tag to this

Ok, this fail is happening because we're using python3 unicode strings to call
the ANSI MessageBoxA function. A possible fix;
Encode strings before passing the MessageBoxA (ctypes.txt.diff attached)
Alternatively, calls could be made to the unicode MessageBoxW
