winrt.system module

class Object

A wrapper around the WinRT System.Object type.

This is the base type of all WinRT runtime objects and cannot be instantiated directly.

Introspection attributes

WinRT objects have the following attributes for inspecting various metatdata at runtime:

_runtime_class_name_: str

Gets the WinRT runtime class name of the object.

New in version unreleased.

_iids_: Array[uuid.UUID]

Gets the Interface Identifiers (IIDS) of the WinRT interfaces implemented by the object.

New in version unreleased.

class Array(type, [initializer, ]/)

A wrapper around the WinRT System.Array type.

This type implements the Python sequence protocol.

Parameters:

• type (str or type) – The type to use for elements of the array. This can be a WinRT type or a format string for fundamental types.

• initializer (int or iter or buffer) – An optional iterator of values to use to initialize the array. If an integer value is given, an empty array of that size will be initialized. For value types, any object supporting the CPython buffer protocol with the correct layout can be used as an initializer.

Creation examples:

from winrt.system import Array
from winrt.windows.foundation import Point

# array of 10 32-bit unsigned integers.
a1 = Array("I", 10)
# array of 3 points with initial values
a2 = Array(Point, [Point(1, 1), Point(2, 2), Point(3, 3)])

Sequence protocol examples:

# get the number of elements in the array
size = len(a1)
# get the first element of the array
item = a1[0]
# get the last element of the array
item = a1[-1]
# iterate all items of the array
for item in a1: ...
# test for element in array
if item in a1: ...
