Get window position & size with python
Assuming you're on Windows, try using pywin32
's win32gui
module with its EnumWindows
and GetWindowRect
functions.
If you're using Mac OS X, you could try using appscript
.
For Linux, you can try one of the many interfaces to X11.
Edit: Example for Windows (not tested):
import win32gui
def callback(hwnd, extra):
rect = win32gui.GetWindowRect(hwnd)
x = rect[0]
y = rect[1]
w = rect[2] - x
h = rect[3] - y
print("Window %s:" % win32gui.GetWindowText(hwnd))
print("\tLocation: (%d, %d)" % (x, y))
print("\t Size: (%d, %d)" % (w, h))
def main():
win32gui.EnumWindows(callback, None)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
You can get the window coordinates using the GetWindowRect
function. For this, you need a handle to the window, which you can get using FindWindow
, assuming you know something about the window (such as its title).
To call Win32 API functions from Python, use pywin32
.
