There are a couple of types unsupported by the property storage code. I did try adding support, but the VT_CF structure is very poorly documented by MS. After following the best instructions I could find, I did appear to get data in CF_METAFILEPICT format, but I was unable to make SetClipboardData work with the data.
I could send you the mods I made (let me know what Python version) to get this raw data, but you would need to understand the METAFILEPICT structure to make heads or tails of it. Let me know if this is something would like. Sadly these mods just missed build 205.

If yes I would like to save this thumbnail in a .jpeg file, if no, i want to save a temporary preview picture of this document and obtain the thumbnail in a .jpeg file. Unfortunately this doesn't work. When I do: def PrintStats(filename): if not pythoncom.StgIsStorageFile(filename): print "The file is not a storage file!" return # Open the file. flags = storagecon.STGM_READ | storagecon.STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE stg = pythoncom.StgOpenStorage(filename, None, flags ) # Now see if the storage object supports Property Information. try: pss = stg.QueryInterface(pythoncom.IID_IPropertySetStorage) except pythoncom.com_error: print "No summary information is available" return # Open the user defined properties. ps = pss.Open(FMTID_UserDefinedProperties) props = PIDSI_TITLE, PIDSI_SUBJECT, PIDSI_AUTHOR, PIDSI_CREATE_DTM, PIDSI_THUMBNAIL data = ps.ReadMultiple( props ) # Unpack the result into the items. title, subject, author, created, thumbnail = data print "Title:", title print "Subject:", subject print "Author:", author print "Created:", created.Format () print "Thumbnail:", thumbnail If the thumbnail doesn't exists, it returns None, if It exists, it returns me : data = ps.ReadMultiple( props ) TypeError: Unsupported property type Please, somebody can help me? thanks Rena _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
