Python pyautogui window handle

Question

Using pyautogui is there a way to get a handle to a window so that I can ensure that a click is performed on that window only? In other words, if my window isn't in focus, then the click does not occur. Additionally, if my window isn't in focus then I bring it into focus and then perform the actions.

The way to identify a window could be an ID, window title etc similar to this https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/WinGet.htm

Is there any other Python module that supports this kind of functionality?

Answer 1

This code might help to get what window you want to minimize or maximize. Example: If you want to get a Chrome window titled "Stack Overflow",

    pyautogui.getWindowsWithTitle("Stack Overflow")[0].minimize()

Or if you want to minimize or maximize any file explorer window that titled "music", the same thing applies.

    pyautogui.getWindowsWithTitle("music")[0].maximize()

If you are not sure about which window you require, you can get a list using this
