For brevity's sake: I'm trying to implement this with wxPython, but I'm struggling to fit that code into a script based on wxPython.
My simple PyQt test code works fine. Here it is:
from PyQt4 import QtGui
from threading import Thread
import time
import sys
import comtypes.client as cc
import comtypes.gen.TaskbarLib as tbl
TBPF_NOPROGRESS = 0
TBPF_INDETERMINATE = 0x1
TBPF_NORMAL = 0x2
TBPF_ERROR = 0x4
TBPF_PAUSED = 0x8
cc.GetModule("taskbar.tlb")
taskbar = cc.CreateObject("{56FDF344-FD6D-11d0-958A-006097C9A090}", interface=tbl.ITaskbarList3)
class MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self, parent)
self.setWindowTitle("Test")
self.progress_bar = QtGui.QProgressBar(self)
self.setCentralWidget(self.progress_bar)
self.progress_bar.setRange(0, 100)
self.progress = 0
self.show()
thread = Thread(target=self.counter)
thread.setDaemon(True)
thread.start()
def counter(self):
while True:
self.progress += 1
if self.progress > 100:
self.progress = 0
time.sleep(.2)
self.progress_bar.setValue(self.progress)
taskbar.HrInit()
hWnd = self.winId()
taskbar.SetProgressState(hWnd, TBPF_ERROR)
taskbar.SetProgressValue(hWnd, self.progress, 100)
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
ui = MainWindow()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
But, when I try to execute the wxPython counterpart, the taskbar doesn't work as expected. Here's the wxPython code:
import wx
import time
import comtypes.client as cc
import comtypes.gen.TaskbarLib as tbl
from threading import Thread
TBPF_NOPROGRESS = 0
TBPF_INDETERMINATE = 0x1
TBPF_NORMAL = 0x2
TBPF_ERROR = 0x4
TBPF_PAUSED = 0x8
cc.GetModule("taskbar.tlb")
taskbar = cc.CreateObject("{56FDF344-FD6D-11d0-958A-006097C9A090}", interface=tbl.ITaskbarList3)
class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, ID, title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, ID, title)
self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
self.gauge = wx.Gauge(self.panel)
self.gauge.SetValue(0)
self.progress = 0
self.Show()
thread = Thread(target=self.counter)
thread.setDaemon(True)
thread.start()
def counter(self):
while True:
self.progress += 1
if self.progress > 100:
self.progress = 0
time.sleep(.2)
self.gauge.SetValue(self.progress)
taskbar.HrInit()
hWnd = self.GetHandle()
taskbar.SetProgressState(hWnd, TBPF_ERROR)
taskbar.SetProgressValue(hWnd, self.progress, 100)
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = MainWindow(None, wx.ID_ANY, "Test")
app.SetTopWindow(frame)
app.MainLoop()
In particular I think the issue is due to the wxWindow window handle (hWnd) method, that differ from its Qt equivalent, the former returning an integer and the latter a "sip.voidptr object".
The problem is that I already wrote the whole code (1200+ lines) with wxPython, thus i can't re-write it to use Qt (not to talk about the different licenses).
What do you think about it? Should I give up?
Thanks a lot in advance :)
EDIT
Thanks to Robert O'Connor, now it works. However, I still can't get why GetHandle returns an integer while winId returns an object. In the .idl file the argument hwnd is declared as long in all the function definitions. Maybe this is a simple question too ;) Any Ideas?
