Bug Fixes

Final fix for ValueError: NULL COM pointer access (UIA backend).

Enhancements

Multi-threading mode (MTA) for comtypes is enabled by default, if it's not initialized
by another library before importing pywinauto.
Method get_value() has been added to EditWrapper in UIA backend.
Method scroll() has been added for all UIA controls which have ScrollPattern implemented.
Added methods is_minimized/is_maximized/is_normal/get_show_state for UIAWrapper.

Added handling in-place controls inside ListView control and (row, column) indexing
in a grid-like table mode. Examples:

    auto_detected_ctrl = list_view.get_item(0).inplace_control()

    combo = list_view.get_item(1,1).inplace_control("ComboBox")
    combo.select("Item name")

    edit = list_view.get_item(3,4).inplace_control("Edit")
    edit.type_keys("some text{ENTER}", set_foreground=False)

    dt_picker = list_view.get_item(2,0).inplace_control("DateTimePicker")
