I want to run an exe (for example calc.exe or cmd.exe) inside a python gui (python 2.7 | Windows | PyQt). Have anybody an idea how can i do this? (something like that : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6GWgxEvibE)
Thanks all in advance.

Does this have to work in PyQt4, or could you use PyQt5? I think you may need the latter to get this to work on Windows. (I assume you're asking about embedding external windows in your own application).ekhumoro– ekhumoro2017-01-05 00:30:14 +00:00Commented Jan 5, 2017 at 0:30

@SDE What does embedding another app's window in your app provide, over just starting the other app as a separate process?Oliver– Oliver2017-01-06 05:44:16 +00:00Commented Jan 6, 2017 at 5:44

import subprocess
import time
import win32gui
...
def initUI(self):
# create a process
exePath = "C:\\Windows\\system32\\calc.exe"
subprocess.Popen(exePath)
hwnd = win32gui.FindWindowEx(0, 0, "CalcFrame", "计算器")
time.sleep(0.05)
window = QWindow.fromWinId(hwnd)
self.createWindowContainer(window, self)
self.setGeometry(500, 500, 450, 400)
self.setWindowTitle('File dialog')
self.show()
...
- 01 create a process, run your exe
- 02 use spy++ to get hwnd of the exe
- 03 create QWindow from hwnd
- 04 create window container
Result:
lose exe'menu
