[python-win32] python-win32 Digest, Vol 88, Issue 12

[Li Zhengping]

Hi Guys,

Is there anybody can help me about the processing taskbar ?
How can I locate the cursor on the icon in the taskbar and double click it
with python?

There is a demo in the python example, for creating an icon in the taskbar
for one task.

Any idea about this is highly appreciated.


Thanks.
Zhengping
