[python-win32] win32api: How to send WM_SIZING to a Window

[Andreas Holtz]

Of course I tried it and it is not working. I am trying for two days now.
The Interactive-switch is just preventing user inputs (this works fine).

The COM implementation is "suboptimal". There are a lot of features you can not access via COM.
Don't ask me why. Due to this suboptimal behaviour, I need this stupid hack.

The question is now, what is a correct WM_SIZING-message?
With a string for the rect, a RECT-object, two words or something else?
It can't be possible that I am the first person sending a WM_SIZING-message to a window in python?
