So I went to community service this morning
And
My dad showed up to community service

I went to meals for the elderly 
He mowed
So we didn't work together 

But he asked if I needed a ride home
I said yes
Then in the vehicle he asked if I wanted to get something to eat

The two of us went to a steakhouse 
I ordered a 16oz
Felt so good eating it
The salad the chips and hot sauce 
The fries the coca cola
It was so good
I love my dad

I worked on my new code from 11-4
Then from 4:30-7
Then from around 12:20-4:00

I can list processes and select a process
I can bring a pid to the front
I can find pol.exe pid in several different ways

My issue is finding a way to define or store the pid from one of the methods
To then bring to the front

Obviously pol.exe pid changes every launch

In a dream world I would pick the police.exe from a list of all running .exes
Store the pid by defining it
Then use the definition to run code that brings to front

Why is this important when I already know how to do this(since crafter already does it)

Mostly for redundancy 
To learn more ways to do the same thing

I haven't done hardly any work on getting the API.dll working
C++ c# .net and converted to Python 
It's all too overwhelming 

I'm thinking the first thing I need is to attach to an instance
Then I need to find a way to run functions from the dll

Ctypes gives me error after error on the two lines below

    mylib.my_function.argtypes = [ctypes.c_int, ctypes.c_char_p]
    mylib.my_function.restype = ctypes.c_int

That's where ctypes hits a brick wall

My function is supposed to be a function from the API.dll

The dll needs to be loaded and available to use for functions 
The pol.exe needs to be attached 
The code to runs the functions needs to work

I just don't know

First things first
The .dll needs to be loaded
The .exe needs to be attached
The functions code needs to make sense
The output when running the functions needs to be in the code

And honestly that's about it
It's just wrapping that all together
To get the results

Something as simple as pressing a button in a .exe to display the current time in the .exe

Or an exe that can tell which fish you have on the line

I got sending input to FFXI that was pretty easy
Now I want to read data from FFXI and display in a GUI

It'll happen eventually if I keep at it like this
I don't really have anything else that keeps me as focused
It's fun
It's not a bad way to spend my time
