IronPython and COM Interface

[Divya]

Hello,

I'm new to IronPython and COM so please bear with me.

I have a COM interface provided to me. I need to implement this
interface and pass it to a method as a way of implementing
'callbacks'.

However it appears that the methods of my interface object are never
called.

As a alternative, I implemented the interface in C# and then extended
the C# class in IronPython. However, on running the code, methods of
my C# class rather than the IronPython class are being called.

Can anyone advise? Is this possible in IronPython?

The code is listed below.

Regards,
Divya

import time

import clr
clr.AddReference('Interop.MBTCOMLib.dll')
clr.AddReference('Interop.MBTORDERSLib.dll')
clr.AddReference('Interop.MBTQUOTELib.dll')

import MBTCOMLib
import MBTORDERSLib
import MBTQUOTELib

demo_user='user'
demo_pass='pass'
demo_host=9

class MBEvents(MBTQUOTELib.IMbtQuotesNotify):
def __init__(self):
MBTQUOTELib.IMbtQuotesNotify.__init__(self)

def OnLevel2Data(data):
print 'OnLevel2Data'

def OnOptionsData(self, data):
print 'OnOptionsData'

def OnQuoteData(self, data):
print 'OnQuoteData'

def OnTSData(self, data):
print 'OnTSData'

class MB:
def __init__(self):
self.conn = MBTCOMLib.MbtComMgrClass()
#self.conn.EnableSplash(False)
self.orders = self.conn.OrderClient
self.quotes = self.conn.Quotes
self.events = MBEvents()

def login(self, host=demo_host, user=demo_user, passwd=demo_pass):
self.conn.DoLogin(host, user, passwd, '')
print self.quotes.RemoteAddress, self.quotes.RemotePort
self.quotes.AdviseSymbol(self.events, 'EUR/USD', 1|2|3|4)

It may not help but I was struggling with the COM-callback issue
yesterday and found that this works in regular python:

import win32com.server.util

def callback:
_public_methods_=['progress']
def progress(self, total, number):
print "completed %i of %i" % (number, total)

#
# Get instance of callback class
#
cb=callback()
#
# Wrap the callback class to turn it into an IDispatch (COM) object
# so I can pass it to my COM object.
#
idCallback=win32com.server.util.wrap(cb)
#
# Call the COM interface and pass it the callback function
#
r=oC.WSset_callback(idCallback)

In my case the COM object was also written in Python so to get
to the python object I do following:

def WSset_callback(idCallback)
self.callback=win32com.client.Dispatch(idCallback)

Now I can call .progress method of callback class from the COM
object.

self.callback.progress(total, number)

Hope this helps in some way.
