Finding the selected file in Windows Explorer

[domiriel]

Hi!


I need to find the selected file(s) in a Windows Explorer window from
another program (I'd look at the window that last had focus). I found
something in the following page that should do the trick:

However, it is not Python and, while I'm a competent Python
programmer, Win32, COM and the like are somewhat outside my
competences.

Does any one know how to do something similar in Python?


Tks!

I think the guys on the PyWin32 mailing list were just talking about
something similar earlier this month. Looks like it was how to select
a file in Explorer. You can check out that thread here:

Or just join their mailing list and re-post your question there:

They're quite nice and very knowledgeable.
