I incorporated that snippet into a little test script and I still have
trouble with Office controls. If I run your example all is well, but
mine gives the following error: "WindowsError: [Error -2147417843] An
outgoing call cannot be made since the application is dispatching an
input-synchronous call"
Presumably, this is a timing problem, as I found references to it in
other contexts. I have no idea how to resolve it at this point, but I
am exploring it. Has anyone else seen this error from comtypes? My
code is below.
<code>
import pythoncom, pyHook
from ctypes import oledll, windll, byref, POINTER
from ctypes.wintypes import POINT
from comtypes.client import wrap
from comtypes.automation import VARIANT
from comtypes import IUnknown
oleacc = oledll.oleacc
def AccessibleObjectFromPoint(x, y):
pacc = POINTER(IUnknown)()
var = VARIANT()
oleacc.AccessibleObjectFromPoint(POINT(x, y),
byref(pacc),
byref(var))
return wrap(pacc), var.value
def GetCursorPos():
pt = POINT()
windll.user32.GetCursorPos(byref(pt))
return pt.x, pt.y
def OnMouseClick(event):
x,y = GetCursorPos()
pacc, value = AccessibleObjectFromPoint(x, y)
print pacc.accName()
# return True to pass the event to other handlers
return True
if __name__ == "__main__":
# create a hook manager
hm = pyHook.HookManager()
# watch for left-click events
hm.MouseLeftDown = OnMouseClick
# set the hook
hm.HookMouse()
# wait forever
pythoncom.PumpMessages()
</code>
