""" MessageBox.py
Here is an example of making a DLL call in Python, using the ctypes
module, which is built into Python 2.5. Suppose we want to call the
ASCII version of the MessageBox function, MessageBoxA, which is located
in the user32.dll dynamic link library of the Windows API. The function
signature is described at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms645505(VS.85).aspx
Here is an excerpt:
intMessageBox(
HWNDhWnd,
LPCTSTRlpText,
LPCTSTRlpCaption,
UINTuType
);
Parameters
hWnd
[in]Handle to the owner window of the message box to be created. If this
parameter is NULL, the message box has no owner window.
lpText
[in]Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the message to be
displayed. If the string consists of more than one line, you can
separate the lines
using a carriage return and/or linefeed character between each line.
lpCaption
[in]Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the dialog box
title. If this parameter is NULL, the default title is Error.
uType
[in]Specifies the contents and behavior of the dialog box.
Here is Python code that calls the function and presents a message box:
"""
import ctypes
dll = ctypes.windll.user32
func = dll.MessageBoxA
func(0, 'My Message', 'My Title', 0)
