It's taken me ages to find out why my window, built out of win32all, wasn't receiving any messages. Eventually I found the answer here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-October/069451.html The important point being: > IIRC you have to pass the return value of the RegisterClass() call (which > is an atom) to the CreateWindowEx() function as the second parameter > (lpClassName). ... in other words, you can pass the name of your window class as the second parameter, but it will silently fail to work. (This holds for CreateWindow too.) This is a bug for which it is pretty much impossible to work out the workaround without being told it, so I'd like to put the workaround in a more easily-found place. But where? win32all doesn't seem to have much documentation, much less a bug database. In case anyone else needs to find this message by searching, some keywords are: win32all, win32gui, WNDCLASS, RegisterClass, CreateWindow, CreateWindowEx George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
