How do I get hwnd of a Window?

[trajano]

I tried id no luck.

from ahk import AHK
import  pywinctl as pwc
from ahk.directives import NoTrayIcon
import pygetwindow as gw
import ctypes
from ctypes import wintypes

ahk = AHK(
    executable_path="C:\\Users\\trajano\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\AutoHotkey\\v2\\AutoHotkey64.exe",
    version="v2",
    directives=[NoTrayIcon(apply_to_hotkeys_process=True)],
)
one_note_ahk_title = "ahk_exe ONENOTE.EXE"
user32 = ctypes.WinDLL('user32', use_last_error=True)
window =ahk.win_get(one_note_ahk_title)
result = list(map(lambda it: it._hWnd, pwc.getAllWindows()))

print(result)
print(window.id)

entry = window.id
if entry in result:
    print(f"{entry} is in the list.")
else:
    print(f"{entry} is not in the list.")

Attempting to use window.id like this

if not user32.MoveWindow(window.id, x, y, 1920, 2100, True):
  raise ctypes.WinError(ctypes.get_last_error())

results in

OSError: [WinError 1400] Invalid window handle.

The id property of a Window object is the value of the hwnd pointer. What about this is not working for you?

[trajano]

Nope I wrote it in a bug but I'll post it in the OP now.

They are the same:

>>> from ahk import AHK
>>> ahk = AHK(version='v2')
>>> import ctypes
>>> user32 = ctypes.windll.user32
>>> handle = user32.FindWindowW(None, u'Untitled - Notepad')
>>> print(handle)
40373466
>>> win = ahk.win_get(title='Untitled - Notepad')
>>> print(win.id)
40373466

For use with ctypes, you have to convert the type first:

success = user32.MoveWindow(int(window.id), x, y, 1920, 2100, True)

Weird. Could it be because I'm using ahk_exe ?

[spyoungtech]

Hmm. I get the same results using ahk_exe:

>>> win = ahk.find_window(title='ahk_exe notepad.exe')
>>> print(win.id)
40373466

Doh... it's the int that fixes it :D
