How do I take out the focus or minimize a window with Python?

Question

I need to get focus to a specified window, and the only way I\'m seeing on my head, is minimizing all windows on front of it until I get the right one...

How can I d

Answer 1

You'll need to enumerate through the windows and match the title of the window to get the one you want. The code below searches for a window with "firefox" in the title and sets the focus

To minimize the window use the following line:

def enumHandler(hwnd, lParam):
   if 'firefox' in win32gui.GetWindowText(hwnd):
      win32gui.ShowWindow(hwnd, win32con.SW_MINIMIZE)

win32gui.EnumWindows(enumHandler, None)

This works for Windows 10, Python3.5 32bit, pywin32‑223.

I reported the above case, but an error occurred.
