I'm sending keyboard and mouse events to a seperate windows

I use win32event.WaitForInputIdle() before calling e.g.
win32api.keybd_event()

of my
events get lost. Now I'v created my own WaitForInputIdle() which calls

From the Microsoft docs for WaitForInputIdle: "The WaitForInputIdle
function only works with GUI applications. If a console application
calls
the function, it returns immediately, with no wait."
A typical Python script is a console application.

It would explain my problem.
Perhaps I could create a small windows application as interface..
I have to think about it ( and wait, as I currently don't have access to
visual C++, nor the MS documentation)

Thanks,

Nobody.
However, yesterday I tried wrapping my piece of offending code into a very
simple Tkinter application.
Alas, the problem wasn't solved. WaitForInputIdle() returns too soon
(unless I don't understand WaitForInputIdle(), which is actually a Microsoft
call.
Therefore using Visual Studio is sometimes handier: doc available and most
compatible with Microsoft's quirks)

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Cheers, Hans
