Description Ara Pulido 2009-07-02 15:12:53 UTC 
I would love to have a method that returns the time (in milliseconds) that a window has been showing in the screen.

Right now I use:

waittillguiexists(window)
start_time = time.time()
waittillguinotexists(window)
end_time = time.time()

but that has a measure error of about 1.5 seconds.

It would be great to have something like:

time = showing_time(window)

that will return how long the window was showing on the screen.

Proposed patch

windowuptime('dlgRunApplication')

Returns

(datetime.datetime(2009, 8, 7, 19, 22, 42),
 datetime.datetime(2009, 8, 7, 19, 22, 48))

First one start time, the next one is end time - python datetime instace

Is this fine ?

The input argument, for now will be LDTP convention like dlgWindowName etc.

Please let me know, if this is okay ?

Waiting for your response, before committing it :)

Thanks
