win-pos 0.1.0

Add utility methods that allow you to easily grab the position of a window

A tiny Python utility library used to get the bounds of an application window.

The get_window_pos function takes either a string, or a callable where the first argument is a string and that returns a boolean.

As an example, we'll get the position of Discord. As Discord's window title can vary depending on what server and channel you're in, we'll take advantage of the expected callable and pass a lambda to see if the window ends with 'Discord'.

from WinPos import get_window_pos

get_window_pos(lambda title: title.endswith('Discord'))
# (619, 473, 1624, 716)

Not all windows are as complicated as Discord, fortunately. If the window you're trying to get the position of is static and never changes, you can simply pass a string through and get your value.

from WinPos import get_window_pos

get_window_pos('Task Manager')
# (125, 117, 895, 726)

If for whatever reason you need to repeatedly get the position of the same window, you can import get_window_hwnd and get_window_pos_from_hwnd functions. This will save some time from not having to iterate over every application to check the title.

from WinPos import get_window_hwnd, get_window_pos_from_hwnd

hwnd = get_window_hwnd('Task Manager')
get_window_pos_from_hwnd(hwnd)
# (125, 117, 895, 726)
