Roger Upole gave you exactly the recipe you need. Was there something about his reply that you didn't like? By the way, your code there is somewhat silly: the FindWindow call will return exactly the same handle that GetForegroundWindow already gave you. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

That means you are only asking for permission to terminate the process, not to enumerate its contents. For EnumProcessModules, you need PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION and PROCESS_VM_READ, which would be 0x0410. > sleep(1) > whee = win32process.EnumProcessModules(handle) > nama = win32process.GetModuleFileNameEx(whee, 0) > print nama > Why are those "sleeps" in there? EnumProcessModules returns a tuple, containing all of the modules currently loaded in the process. You would need to choose one. However, in this particular case, you don't need that call at all. GetModuleFileNameEx takes a process handle, plus a module handle, or "0" to mean the processes original exe. So, you can replace those last four lines with: print win32process.GetModuleFileNameEx( handle, 0 ) -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
[python-win32] (no subject)
Hi All,
I built a Python com server to solve regular expressions for use in a VBA
application. Here's the code:
import pythoncom
import re
import string
class reObj:
_public_methods_ = ["re"]
_reg_progid_ = "Python.reObj"
_reg_clsid_ = pythoncom.CreateGuid()
def __init__ (self):
pass
def re(self, pattern, str):
result=''
matchGroup=re.search(pattern,str)
while matchGroup<>None:
(start,end)=matchGroup.span()
result = result + ", " + str[start:end]
str=str.replace(str[start:end],'',1)
matchGroup=re.search(pattern,str)
return result[2:]
def listem(self, list):
for item in list:
print item, r.re(p,item)
if __name__ == '__main__':
import win32com.server.register
win32com.server.register.UseCommandLine(reObj)
The last few lines register the com server, so all that is necessary is to
execute the code.
Calling from VBA is:
Dim re As Object
Set reObj = CreateObject("Python.reObj")
Result = reObj(pattern, string)
_
I got the basic idea from something I found on the web.
Cheers, Gary

Re: [python-win32] handle is invalid?
ahha...that would explain a lot...nope...roger's method was excellent...I was trying this out before I saw his recipe. I see...well...pardon my ignorance since I'm pretty new at Python...it didn't really occur to me that FindWindow was redundant. Well, now I know better...hahaha. Thanks!

Re: [python-win32] Trying to grab exe of foreground window
Excellent...it works! Thanks...I put in the first sleep so I could test the program with various other applications, so it'd give me enough time to open up internet explorer or something...the second sleep was a typo...leftover from a bit of earlier code i did. I see...I tried looking for documentation onw win32con to see what I needed but I couldn't muster up anything. All i got were win32con.PROCESS_TERMINATE and process query information so I assumed one of this was what I needed. Again...thanks so much for enlightening me.
