Catching and automating a win32 MessageBox

[Xavier Homs]

Hi,

I'm using an application that shows a standard (YES/NO) reconnect
MessageBox each time if loses conection with its server. It defaults to YES.

Is there any way to hook such a MessageBox a send a default action (yes)
from a Python Script?

All I've been able to do is to get a HWND with win32gui.FindWindow(none,
"Title Name") pointing to the parent window (the one that uses the
MessageBox() function)


Thanks in advance

Xavi

A pure Python solution is pywinauto:

Another solution is AutoIt
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/
It has a COM server, which you can automate from Python.
