Hi, all.
Just a quick question, when setting a COM process to read a value from
a pre-defined register index, I think, I have to change the variable
that the value will be returned to (as I have to do for the same
function in perl), into a VARIANT, However when i run the variant
code....
'serialIndex = win32com.client .pythoncom.VT_V ARIANT'
no matter what extension I use (i.e. VT_I4 or VT_BOOL etc etc) it
still returns a type mismatch error. I may be doing something wrong or
getting confused with variant processes in python. I do know the code
I use in perl to do this works but I dont know how to translate this,
fully, into python.
perl code for variant =
Win32::OLE::Var iant::Variant(W in32::OLE::Vari ant::VT_VARIANT |Win32::OLE::VA RIANT::VT_BYREF ,
0)
Cheers in advance,
Matt

Unfortunately, you really can't do this in a clean way. The best thing
to do is to ensure "makepy" has been run for your COM object, and the
right magic should always happen.

Hi, thanks for the reply,
My problem is now this, when i go to makepy tool in pythonwin, it does
not see/recognise the type library file I want it to convert. Is there
anyway to add the file to the list of .tlb files it does does?
Cheers,
Matt.
p.s. How do I include the generated makepy file into my code ?

These type libraries are in the registry. You may be able to pass the
filename on the commandline to makepy.
p.s. How do I include the generated makepy file into my code ?
In generaly, you just need to generate the file and do nothing else. At
runtime, Python will see these generated files and automatically use them.
I don't know how that will go with your type library though.

Hi again,
I had to register the .tlb file (as it didnt do it automatically at
installation [don't know why]) using a vb .tlb registration script,
which worked fine and now I have a lovily makepy.py generated file for
my .tlb file.
My problem is now this, When I try to run the file (in pythonwins
interactive window) using the code:
from win32com.client include gencache
gencache.Ensure Module('{AF6849 23-D245-11D3-8DE8-00A024ACAB85x0x 1x0}',
0, 1, 0)
pythonwin returns the error:
ImportError: No module named
gen_py.AF684923-D245-11D3-8DE8-00A024ACAB85x0x 1x0
I have tested it with other makepy.py generated files and they all
return the same error. Do I need to tell python where to find these
makepy files? or is there some other reason as to why it does not want
to use ANY makepy.py files
thanks for all the help,
matt.
hi again, sorry about all these updates but cant remember what I
posted in the last message and google ahsnt updated yet :/.
My current probelm is that I have generated a makepy file and then run
ensureModule on it to ensure early binding. However when I came to run
Dispatch it still ran with late binding :(. If i ran the script with
ensureDispatch would that help (instead of normal client.Dispatch that
is)
thanks again,
matt.

I'm writing a wrapper to a win32 dll in C#. I need to call

parameter.
How to marshal variant type from win32 (unmanaged code)

I tried using Marshal.GetObjectForNativeVariant(), but of
no use.

Hi guys!
Just wanted to let you all know that I created a Variant structure, inspired by the old VB6 days. This is written in C#, but you can build a CLR/.NET class library assembly and reference it to your liking.
' Here is an example of use:
' start with a string of "1"
Dim da As Variant = new Variant("1")
' add an integer of 2, becomes 3

Hello,
Maybe you already guess the problem.
I have a COM with a method in a Interface like that:
HRESULT GetArray(VARIANT *pVal);
so this method will return a VARIANT. This VARIANT contains a SafeArray - 1
dimension.

The last procedure (FN SplitB) fails on its last line which is meant

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
