PyWinGUI GUI Automation Library for Windows Forms (Binary Distribution)

pywinGUI – Intelligent Windows GUI Automation Framework

pywinGUI is an enterprise-grade Windows GUI automation framework designed to automate complex desktop applications without relying on automation IDs.
It interacts with UI elements using label recognition, visual ordering, proximity matching, and intelligent fallbacks.

This framework powers automated form filling, radio/checkbox selection, dropdown interactions, button clicks, and active window keystrokes — using a simple dictionary payload.

🚀 Features

✅ Label-Based Text Input

• Fill fields using visible labels ("Surname:" : "Niranjan")
• Supports repeated labels (Label:01, Label:02)
• Matches nearest control by visual proximity

✅ Radio Button Automation

Supports:

• radioBtn:toggle:<name> – attribute-based match
• radioBtn:<name> – direct name match
• radioBtn:All_01 – global index based on visual order
• Group selection via "Label": "Option"

✅ Checkbox Handling

Three enterprise-level patterns:

• checkboxBtn:toggle:<name>
• checkboxBtn:left:<Label> – checkbox on the left
• checkboxBtn:right:<Label> – checkbox on the right

✅ Dropdown Selections

• dropdown:<Label> → selects matching option text

✅ Button Actions

• btn:OK
• btn:Save_01
• Any button name with optional suffixes

✅ Active Window Keystrokes

Send keystrokes directly to focused window:

"activeWindow:SendKeys_01": "{ENTER}"
"activeWindow:SendKeys_02": "[e-mail]"

Executed in numeric order.

✅ No Automation ID Required

Intelligent strategies:

• Label text matching
• Visual position sorting
• Nearest control search
• Repeated label disambiguation
