</p><p>Here is the list of changes from 0.3.7:
</p>0.3.8 Collecting improvements from last 2 years<br>------------------------------------------------------------------<br>15-March-2009<br><br> * Fixed toolbar button pressing - This required for <br> HwndWrapper.NotifyParent() to be updated (to accept a new <br>
ID parameter)<br><br> * Fixed a bug wherea listview without a column control would<br> make pywinauto fail to capture the dialog.<br><br> * Converted documentation from Pudge generated to Sphinx Generated<br><br> * Added some baic support for Pager and Progress controls <br>
(no tests yet)<br><br> * Added some more VB 'edit' window classes<br><br> * Added some more VB 'listbox' window classes<br><br> * Added some more VB 'button' window classes<br> <br> * Ensured that return value from ComboBoxWrapper.SelectedIndices <br>
is always a tuple (there was a bug where it would sometimes be <br> a ctypes array)<br><br> * Changed default for finding windows to find disabled windows <br> as well as enabled ones (previous was to find enabled windows only) <br>
(note this may impact scripts that relied on the previous <br> setting i.e. in cases where two dialogs have the same title!)<br><br> * Much better handling of InvalidWindowHandle during automation<br> runs. This could be raised when a closing window is still available<br>
when the automation was called, but is gone half way through<br> whatever function was called.<br> <br> * Made clicking more robust by adding a tiny wait between each<br> SendMessageTimeout in _perform_click().<br>
<br> * Added attributes ``can_be_label`` and ``has_title`` to ``HwndWrapper``<br> and subclasses to specify whether a control can act as a label for<br> other controls, and whether the title should be used for identifying<br>
the control. If you have created your own HwndWrapper subclasses you<br> may need to override the defaults.<br><br> * Added a ``control_id`` parameter to find_windows which allows <br> finding windows based off of their control id's<br>
<br> * Added a FriendlyClassName method to MenuItem<br><br> * Split up the functions for button truncation data<br><br> * Commented out code to get a new font if the font could not <br> be recovered <br><br> * Moved code to get the control font from Truncation test to<br>
handleprops <br><br> * Added a function to get the string representation of the <br> bug. (need to refactor PrintBugs at some point).<br><br> * Fixed a variable name (from fname -> font_attrib as fname <br> was not a defined variable!)<br>
<br> * Forced some return values from MissingExtraString test <br> to be Unicode<br><br> * Fixed the MiscValues test (converted to Unicode and <br> removed some extraneous characters)<br><br> * Updated the path for all unittests<br>
<br> * Made two unit tests sligthly more robust and less dependent <br> on computer/app settings<br> <br> * Updated timing settings for unit tests<br> <br> * Updated the examples to work in dev environment.<br><br>
