1. Overview win32gui is a Python module that wraps a significant portion of the Microsoft Windows User Interface (UI) API, also known as the Win32 GUI API. It is part of the pywin32 (formerly win32all ) package, a set of Python extensions providing access to many Windows-specific functions, COM, and the Windows registry. hdc = win32gui
hdc = win32gui.GetWindowDC(hwnd) mfc_dc = win32ui.CreateDCFromHandle(hdc) save_dc = mfc_dc.CreateCompatibleDC() bitmap = win32ui.CreateBitmap() bitmap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(mfc_dc, width, height) save_dc.SelectObject(bitmap) save_dc.BitBlt((0, 0), (width, height), mfc_dc, (0, 0), win32con.SRCCOPY)
