[wtr-general] watir web-driver hwnd
I've done a fair amount of searching for the method to get hwnd of a browser with the watir webdriver and I'm coming up empty handed. It's very easy in Watir: browser.hwnd. Thanks!

What are you trying to accomplish, high-level?

Re: [wtr-general] watir web-driver hwnd
I wanted to use Win32API to do some window manipulation. I ended up finding another way to do it. Basically I have a number of browsers I'm opening and I want to be able to position them in different places on the screen. Not really a functional test or requirement, but it'll make it easier for me to monitor the tests when running and nice for demos. I decided to change the title of the browser and then I can uniquely identify them if I need to be able to before calling the Win32API functions I need to. Something like this: browser.execute_script(document.title = 'UniqueBrowser #{x}') hWnd = FindWindow.call(nil, UniqueBrowser #{x} - Google Chrome) ret = MoveWindow.call(hWnd, 0, 0, 640, 512, true) Knowing full well that after I goto any other page that this title I've set will be gone. I just really need it for the initial set-up. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

I see. Feel free to star this issue in the Selenium tracker, which deals with adding a cross-platform API to resize and move windows in WebDriver (which would allow us to expose it in watir-webdriver as well): http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=174 On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 6:27 PM, Dan dfra...@gmail.com wrote: I wanted to use Win32API to do some window manipulation.
