The task is to automate the testing of GUI applications in Windows. For this, I assume the use of a script on PowerShell . As I imagine it: through PS, open the GUI application (written in Python), assign the created form to the new $ currentForm variable, and then work with it:

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms $currentForm = ??? # работаем с переменной

The problem is that I do not know exactly how this can be done, and therefore I ask for help :)

If there are other, more reasonable, solutions to the problem, then I will look at them with pleasure and I will be extremely grateful and grateful to you!

    Like this:

     Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms $currentForm = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form

    You can see the available properties of the form object, as well as their current values, like this:

     Write-Output $currentForm

    We can also change the current properties of the object, say, change the size of the form by setting the value of height and width to 100:

     $currentForm.Height = 100 $currentForm.Width = 100

    The window is called by the ShowDialog method, like this:

     $currentForm.ShowDialog()

    On the Internet there are many examples describing the creation of certain forms using PowerShell. For example, Windows PowerShell Tip: Creating a Custom Input Box
