You said to find which windll functions are used. As far as I can tell, here are all of them: def ActivateWindow(hWindow): KERNEL32 = ctypes.windll.KERNEL32 GetCurrentThreadId = KERNEL32.GetCurrentThreadId USER32 = ctypes.windll.USER32 AttachThreadInput = USER32.AttachThreadInput BringWindowToTop = USER32.BringWindowToTop GetForegroundWindow = USER32.GetForegroundWindow GetWindowThreadProcessId = USER32.GetWindowThreadProcessId ShowWindow=USER32.ShowWindow #rest of function, using the above methods On 10/1/11, Chris Barker wrote: > On 10/1/11 7:28 AM, Alex Hall wrote: >> I just joined this list, so I am sorry if this is not the right place to >> ask. >> I have written an application in python, and one library I use relies >> on the ctypes.windll functions, specifically user32 and kernel32.

[Pythonmac-SIG] windll on Mac?
Hi all, I just joined this list, so I am sorry if this is not the right place to ask. I have written an application in python, and one library I use relies on the ctypes.windll functions, specifically user32 and kernel32. I would like to use this library, but I also want to make my application cross-platform. Is there an equivalent to windll on the Mac? It looks like the library uses the dll for finding things like the current thread id, current window, and for functions like window/thread management (it is a dialog builder library built around wx). The library can be found here: http://www.empowermentzone.com/pylbc.zip Thanks in advance for any information you can provide. -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) mehg...@gmail.com; http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
