[python-win32] How to make Python identify GUI buttons by their label
The contractor we hired told us that Python can only recognize GUI objects, specifically buttons, by their ID. This is very inconvenient and hard to work with as the button IDs change a lot between builds. Instead, I want to reference a button by its label like Save, Preview, or Submit. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? We use ActiveState ActivePython 2.6.4.8 (32 bit), wxPython 2.8.10.1, and PyScripter 2.3.3.

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? I can't tell what this means. Are you poking through another application's window? Typically, control IDs don't change that often. What do you mean by recognize? Anything you can do from a C application can be done from Python. If you are searching for subwindows, you can call the FindWindow API, which accepts titles. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
