Hi,

I have a problem with adding attributes to a Line in an Excel drawing
using the Python win32com interface. From recording in Excel I get the
Macro:

Sub Makro1()
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine(192.75, 63.75, 316.5, 110.25).Select
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 10
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.Visible = msoTrue
End Sub

I want to replicate this from Python24 using the win32com interface:

import win32com.client.dynamic
xlapp = win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch("Excel.Applicatio n")
xlapp.Visible = True
xlbook = xlapp.Workbooks.Add()
xlapp.ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine( 0, 0, 100, 100).Select
<bound method CDispatch.Select of <COMObject AddLine>>

xlapp.Selection.ShapeRange.Line.ForeColor.SchemeCo lor = 10

This fails on ShapeRange, with output listed below. What can the
problem be? Is there a solution/work-around?

Thanks in advance

Sorry guys,

I forgot the parenthesis in

xlapp.ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine( 0, 0, 100, 100).Select()
