[PyKDE] QWidget.winId() not working?

[Smith, Dave]

Thanks Phil!  I guess I didn't look far enough...

Sure enough, I get the expected results on any UNIX.

Anyone have a clue how to get a useful winId out of
Windows at the python/PyQt level?

In C++ I'm looking at code that gets the winId like this:
   long my_windowid = (long)((QWidget *) this)->winId();

Of course, I don't fully understand that code yet, which
is why I'm trying to do something simple in python first.  :)

Dave

I think you are mis-reading qwindowdefs.h. It's an int like type on
everything except Windows.
