<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 208699 by <a href="/recipes/users/470921/">Gary Eakins</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/ctypes/">ctypes</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/windows_api/">windows_api</a>). Revision 4. </p> <p>It is easy to call Windows API dlls using the ctypes module with win32con defining the constant values for message identifiers and parameter flags. The demo code shows a simple but complete application that registers a window class and a Python WndProc callback function, creates the window and pumps messages.</p>
