# Get window information with ctypes
## pip install ctypes-window-info
```python
This function utilizes the Windows API to retrieve information about windows.
Args:
hwnd (int or None): The handle of the window for which to retrieve the text, defaults to None (all windows).
Returns:
namedtuple: A named tuples with - pid title windowtext hwnd length tid status coords_client dim_client coords_win dim_win class_name path
Note:
This function uses the `GetWindowTextW` function from the `user32` library to retrieve the window text.
It is intended for use on Windows operating systems and relies on the ctypes library to interface with the Windows API.
Examples:
from ctypes_window_info import get_window_infos
get_window_infos()
[[WindowInfo(pid=88, title='Base_PowerMessageWindow', windowtext='', hwnd=197614, length=1, tid=9668, status='invisible', coords_client=(0, 0, 0, 0), dim_client=(0, 0), coords_win=(0, 0, 0, 0), dim_win=(0, 0), class_name='Base_PowerMessageWindow', path='C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe'),
