** Note: the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/revisions/7567680/1">original version of the question</a> asked how to read AND write to a cmd window ** Writing You can write to an existing command window with code such as: <pre><code>from pywinauto import application app = application.Application() app.connect_(path= r"C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe") dlg = app.top_window_() dlg.TypeKeys('hello world') </code></pre> Notes: <ol> <li>I installed the latest version of pywinauto into a Python 2.6 installation direct from the Mercurial repository with the command: <code>pip install -e hg+https://code.google.com/p/pywinauto/#egg=pywinauto</code></li> <li>I would make this rather more robust than assuming the path to cmd.exe! Documentation on selecting the application is at <a href="http://pywinauto.googlecode.com/hg/pywinauto/docs/HowTo.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://pywinauto.googlecode.com/hg/pywinauto/docs/HowTo.html</a></li> </ol> Reading Reading from an existing command window appears to be somewhat more difficult! Someone on the <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pywinauto-users" rel="nofollow noreferrer">pywinauto-users mailing list</a> has got it working & is offering to post a working example: <a href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.pywinauto.user/249/focus=252" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.pywinauto.user/249/focus=252</a> I suggest you get in touch with him.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
