[python-win32] findwindow by its class name

[James Hu]

Thanks a lot! Yes, GetHandle() can return 'wxWindowClassNR', which is
nice,
but all wxPython apps return wxWindowClassNR as well, so when I Post
Message, it goes to itself.

You had to make me do it, didn't you? :-)

wxPython windows expose their HWND via the GetHandle() method. So you
can get the frame's class name as

    win32gui.GetClassName(frame.GetHandle())

FWIW, I get a constant value of "wxWindowClassNR".

Hope this helps,
Paul.
