Re: [ctypes-users] ctypes reference book

[Rob G. <rg...@hi...>]

Michael, I think you may have gotten wrapped around the axle a bit. USER32.DLL is one of the core DLLs of the Windows system, been around since at least Windows 3.0.  When you talk about windll.user32, that's just ctypes accessing that library, and looks the same as the ctypes interface to any library. 

That said, if I recall correctly, most what happens in there is GUI management. If that's what you're trying to do, you almost certainly want to use one of the many GUI toolkits available for Python rather than try to bang against the DLL yourself.
