Re: [Pywinauto-users] RE: What's the user experience with pywinauto? (LONG)

[<gil...@ea...>]

Hello all.  I hope you don't grow too weary of my ignorance here, but I
just haven't quite gotten my mind around things yet.  I tried the following:

1) from pywinauto.application import Application

2) app = Application().start_(r"C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE http://www.google.com")
3) wndw = app.window_(title_re = r"http://www.google.com")
4) wndw.MenuSelect("File->New->Window")
5) app.SaveWebPage.Edit1.TypeKeys("YourFileName.html")
6) app.SaveWebPage.Save.Click()

which generated the following error:

raise MatchError(items = text_item_map.keys(), tofind = search_text)
pywinauto.findbestmatch.MatchError: Could not find 'File' in '[]'


If I change line 3 to:
wndw = app.window_(title_re = r"C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE http://www.google.com")

I receive the following error message:

raise WindowNotFoundError()
pywinauto.findwindows.WindowNotFoundError


The web page comes up beautifully, just can't seem to grab the menu yet.  I
think I need to keep 'title_re' in line 3(?), otherwise I receive the
following error:

TypeError: window_() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)


I have tried a few other combinations, but no luck yet.  I appreciate your
help very much and hope you're not getting too frustrated!!!  Once things
click, they click, but I think I just need another re-direct.

Thank you and Best Regards,

gil_c
