hi all,
i am a complete newbie in windows programming and have come across this
problem. i wanted a windows systray application which would seat in the
notification are, would have a tiny popup menu and would also respond to a
global hotkey. i've assembled something out of the demos in pywin32 which
actually works except one thing: i don't like it. i am registering the hotkey
within the window class constructor. something like this:
imports...
...
class MainWindow():
def __init__(self):
...
user32.RegisterHotKey(None, 1, win32con.MOD_CONTROL, ord('A'))
message_map = {win32con.WM_DESTROY: self.OnDestroy,
win32con.WM_COMMAND: self.OnCommand,
win32con.WM_USER+20: self.OnTaskbarNotify,
win32con.WM_HOTKEY: self.OnHotKey}
...
def OnCommand(self, hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam):
print "OnCommand"
def OnHotKey(self):
print "OnHotkey"
def OnDestroy(self, hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam):
user32.UnregisterHotKey(None, 1)
...
...
def myLoop():
msg = wintypes.MSG()
while user32.GetMessageA(byref(msg), None, 0, 0) != 0:
if msg.message == win32con.WM_HOTKEY:
w.OnHotKey()
user32.TranslateMessage(byref(msg))
user32.DispatchMessageA(byref(msg))
w = MainWindow()
#PumpMessages()
myLoop()
now, if i use myLoop(), which is ripped from tim golden's "home-grown-loop",
everything works. however, if i use PumpMessages(), the program won't respond
to WM_HOTKEY, and it won't respond to WM_COMMAND (it will respond to
WM_USER+20).
i was wondering if what i've done is not a ridiculously wrong way to do it. in
other words, is there any way to make the window respond to WM_HOTKEY thus
working with PumpMessages()?
i thank you all for your patience (this is my first ever windows programming
experience).
