HI guys,

I am using pywinauto for automating a windows application.

I want to open a file from my desktop and click Open button.

Can some one help in doing this.

Attached is the screenshot for reference. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramachandra,

You can do it so:

app.Open.Edit.SetEditText(r'C:\...<full_path>..\filename.ht')
app.Open.Open.Click()
app.Open.WaitNot('visible') # not required, but nice to make sure the
dialog closed

Best regards,
Vasily.
