0.3.7 Merge of Wait changes and various bug fixes/improvements

10-April-2007

• Added Timings.WaitUntil() and Timings.WaitUntilPasses() which handle the various wait until something in the code. Also refactored existing waits to use these two methods.

• Fixed a major Handle leak in RemoteMemorBlock class (which is used extensively for ‘Common’ controls. I was using OpenHandle to open the process handle, but was not calling CloseHandle() for each corresponding OpenHandle().

• Added an active_() method to Application class to return the active window of the application.

• Added an ‘active’ option to WindowSpecification.Wait() and WaitNot().

• Some cleanup of the clipboard module. GetFormatName() was improved and GetData() made a little more robust.

• Added an option to findwindows.find_windows() to find only active windows (e.g. active_only = True). Default is False.

• Fixed a bug in the timings.Timings class - timing values are Now accessed through the class (Timings) and not through the intance (self).

• Updated ElementTree import in XMLHelpers so that it would work on Python 2.5 (where elementtree is a standard module) as well as other versions where ElementTree is a separate module.

• Enhanced Item selection for ListViews, TreeViews - it is now possible to pass strings and they will be searched for. More documentation is required though.

• Greatly enhanced Toolbar button clicking, selection, etc. Though more documentation is required.

• Added option to ClickInput() to allow mouse wheel movements to be made.

• menuwrapper.Menu.GetProperties() now returns a dict like all other GetProperties() methods. This dict for now only has one key ‘MenuItems’ which contains the list of menuitems (which had been the previous return value).
