[Tutor] closing a internet explorer com object

[John Chandler]

Below is a bit of code that should work, you might want to change ieregex
because right now it will close anything that has "Microsoft Internet
Explorer" in the title bar. Have fun.

import win32con
import win32gui
import win32process
import re

def getHwnds():
    def callback(hwnd, hwnds):
        if win32gui.IsWindowVisible(hwnd) and
win32gui.IsWindowEnabled(hwnd):
            _, found_pid = win32process.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd)
            hwnds.append(hwnd)
        return True

    hwnds = []
    win32gui.EnumWindows(callback, hwnds)
    return hwnds

ieregex = re.compile(".*Microsoft Internet Explorer.*")

for hwnd in getHwnds():
    name = win32gui.GetWindowText(hwnd)
    if ieregex.match(name):
        print hwnd
        win32gui.PostMessage(hwnd, win32con.WM_CLOSE, 0, 0)
