Sending key to 397598, AfxFrameOrView140suīoth when a VK_NEXT was sent to the first Scrollbar as when it was sent to the FoxitDocWnd, the viewer scrolled down by one page. That produced a lot of output, one line for each object in the window, but this is a relevant bit. Win32gui.EnumChildWindows(window_id, callback, 0) Window_id = win32gui.FindWindow(None, "my_multipage_doc.pdf - Foxit Reader") Win32gui.SendMessage(handle, win32con.WM_KEYUP, win32con.VK_NEXT, 0) Win32gui.SendMessage(handle, win32con.WM_KEYDOWN, win32con.VK_NEXT, 0) I use Foxit reader, but the same would apply for Acrobat or other applications. When the window is not in the foreground, none of its control have active focus and keys sent to the window won't automatically get sent to the control you want to receive the input. If you bring the window to the foreground, it handles all keyboard input and it will direct keyboard input to the control that has focus. Thank you Ryabov for your excellent help & your wonderful Python library PyWinAuto! :) Also, going back & forth between win32 & uia helped me as well to find the one that works correctly. I think the problem was that i was using type_keys method instead of send_keystrokes. :) This is the final code that works: import timeĪpp = pywinauto.Application(backend="win32").start(r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe") Thank you to Ryabov, the code now even works with PyWinAuto. I want to keep the target window in the background itself. (mainly sending different keystrokes like ctrl+Tab, pgDn/pgUp, etc)Įdit - the suggested question does not answer my question because the solution over there brings the target window into focus. I wish to keep the terminal in focus while my script does tasks on a window in the background. Is there any way to send keystrokes without bringing the window into focus?
Win32gui.SendMessage(windowID, win32con.WM_KEYDOWN, win32con.VK_NEXT, 0) #VK_NEXT is Page Down buttonĪbove code works only if i de-comment the SetForegroundWindow line.
Python send keystrokes pro#
WindowID = win32gui.FindWindow(None, "testing.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro DC")
