I have a question somewhat related to this, so I'm tagging along on the
thread...
how do I create and access a composer object through CORBA?
I can get the shell by the python script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import bonobo
import Bonobo
from GNOME import Evolution
shell = bonobo.get_object("OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Shell",
"IDL:GNOME/Evolution/Shell:1.0")
and from there I can fire up a composer though the handleURI method in
the shell interface:
shell.handleURI("mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]";)
but handleURI returns void, so I don't get access to the composer
object, and so I cannot access it through the composer interface. How do
I actually _get_ a reference to a composer?
