Get region for chrome on windows

Asked by ABET

Has anyone successfully created a script to capture the region for browsers that do not have a title bar (like Chrome) in windows?

This does not seem to work:
a = App("Chrome")
a.focus()
r = Region(a.window()
print r

I also tried to use a.window(1); with other indexes as well. but it just could not find and set the region for Chrome in windows.

Using XP , Vista and 7

tested on Win7, same Chrome version:

works perfectly for me, either with "Chrome" or "Google Chrome"

a = App("Chrome")
for i in range(100):
    w = a.window(i)
    if not w: break
    print i, " # ", w
wait(2)
a.focus
wait(2)

- all windows are printed
- the frontmost window gets focused

the wait()'s help to see the actions.

Another thing to keep in mind is to make sure you are not running another instance of Chrome or alternatively, run your test Chrome instance with the --no-first-run --user-data-dir flags.

Can you help with this problem?
