OK I think it might be something to do with the "ITaskList_Deleted"
window property that the main excel window sometimes has and
sometimes doesn't (seems to depend on whether it has MS-SDIb windows or not).
Anyway, I'm now having difficulty checking for that window property
using win32 python.
I can't seem to get user32.GetProp to work for me.
I tried:
rv=ctypes.windll.user32.GetProp(hwnd,'ITaskList_Deleted')
But I get:
File "C:\Python26\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 366, in __getattr__
func = self.__getitem__(name)
File "C:\Python26\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 371, in __getitem__
func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))
AttributeError: function 'GetProp' not found
I tried:
rv=ctypes.windll.user32.GetPropA(hwnd,'ITaskList_Deleted')
But I get an ctypes.GetLastError()==2 after that.
Any tips?
