[Python] How to get data from a dynamic custom table-like element of a legacy desktop...

I want to get data from the table of a legacy Windows desktop application.

I tried pywinauto - the scroll bar, titles, checkboxes, tabs are detected but the table is not detected. I found few tab controls called TKalosGrid which I thought could be the table, but it's children and descendants are empty.

Tab control:

<hwndwrapper.HwndWrapper - '', TKalosGrid, 525516>,
<hwndwrapper.HwndWrapper - '', TKalosGrid, 788142>,
<hwndwrapper.HwndWrapper - '', TKalosGrid, 591206>,
<hwndwrapper.HwndWrapper - '', TKalosGrid, 2032892>,


Few Commands I tried:

>>> grid1 = window.child_window(handle=525516)
>>> grid1.exists()
>>> grid1.children()
>>> grid1.descendants()
>>> grid1.print_control_identifiers()
>>> grid1.dump_tree()
>>> grid1.wrapper_object()


The table changes according to the tab selected and the table data keeps updating in real-time.

Please Note that I do not want to use OCR Any programming language can be used.
