hi all
first post.
I am using python to connect to dll. I have read everything I can find
on com!#@!
and tried all variations of the name of the dll to use in the Dispatch.
I get a com error-(-2147...1005, 'Invalid class string',None,No ne)
Do I add .Application to the name? (eg 'XXXX Control
Library.Applica tion')
Any help appreciated?!? How do I get the info?
I have tried the gencache lines suggested in the lit. maybe I use them
wrong.
(All authors are fairly sparse on the topic using Microsoft examples
that are more self evident.)
thanks muchly!

Your best bet is the documentation for the application.
However, if the dll is registered correctly you can also
find the progid in the registry by searching for the dll name.

Thank you! Phew, over that one, now passing parameters by reference or
value!
slight gripe : there is a more extended example of VB code than Python

Hi,
I've been going over the Quick Start to Client side COM and Python and many
other sources, but cannot find an example that will get my com/ActiveX .ocx
USB device driver imported.
The Excel and Word examples run fine.
win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application") etc., but how does one know
the ("<foo>.<bar>") to type in? Excel looks only vaguely like
"Excel.Application" in the com browser.

Hello,
I got it ! There was an example (for Office I think) in the test-directory of
Pywin32, where I have the first lines from. But this is dynamic binding. Can
anybody explain this for early binding ?
And it would be fine when the pulldown-menu in Pythonwin works to see the
exposed Methods of the Type Libraries.

commands like co = ChartObjects(1) works in pythonWin but doesn't
work in IDLE.
however, on both co = chartobjects(1) works just fine.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
