Python library for GUI automation and testing
Project description
pywinauto is a set of python modules to automate the Microsoft Windows GUI. At it’s simplest it allows you to send mouse and keyboard actions to windows dialogs and controls.
0.3.1 Performance tune-ups
30-Mar-2006
Change calculation of distance in findbestmatch.GetNonTextControlName() so that it does not need to square or get the square root to find the real distance - as we only need to compare values - not have the actual distance. (Thanks to Stefaan Himpe)
Compiled regular expression patterns before doing the match to avoid compiling the regular expression for window that is being tested (Thanks to Stefaan Himpe)
Made it easier to add your own control tests by adding a file extra_tests.py which needs to export a ModifyRegisteredTests() method. Also cleaned up the code a little.
Updated notepad_fast.py to make it easier to profile (adde a method)
Changed WrapHandle to use a cache for classes it has matched - this is to avoid having to match against all classes constantly.
Changed default timeout in SendMessageTimeout to .001 seconds from .4 seconds this results in a significant speedup. Will need to make this value modifiable via the timing module/routine.
WaitNot was raising an error if the control was not found - it should have returned (i.e. success - control is not in any particular state because it does not exist!).
Added ListViewWrapper.Deselect() per Chistophe Keller’s suggestion. While I was at it I added a check on the item value passed in and added a call to WaitGuiIdle(self) so that the control has a chance to process the message.
Changed doc templates and moved dependencies into pywinauto subversion to ensure that all files were availabe at www.openqa.org and that they are not broken when viewed there.
Moved all timing information into the timings.Timings class. There are some simple methods for changing the timings.
