Hello, I'm having difficulty passing a VT_UI1 to a COM object. I've tried passing a list/tuple of bytes but it's raising an exception. When I pass a buffer, there is no exception but the returned IAutoLogPacket is None. What is "an array of bytes"?
Here is the makepy generated method (I'm certain I'm using early bound dispatch): # Result is of type IAutoLogPacket def ProcessPacket(self, packet=defaultNamedNotOptArg): """packet is an array of bytes""" ret = self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(32, LCID, 1, (9, 0), ((12, 1),),packet ) if ret is not None: ret = Dispatch(ret, 'ProcessPacket', '{568A44F9-6FB2-4814-8195-BCF6F1409288}', UnicodeToString=0) return ret Here is part of an example working Perl script: my $LogPacket = "15 00 07 10 40 9A C0 A7 EE FB 9C 00 09 11 04 1C 80 29 F0 94 20"; my $qcat_app = new Win32::OLE 'QCAT5.Application'; my @Bytes = split(/[ \n][ \n]*/, $LogPacket); my @HexBytes; foreach (@Bytes) { push @HexBytes,eval "0x$_"; } my $Packet = pack($PackStr, @HexBytes); my $VarPacket = Variant(VT_UI1, $Packet); my $Obj = $qcat_app -> ProcessPacket($VarPacket); print $Obj . "\n"; print $Obj->Text(); I'm using Python 2.4.2 and pywin32 build 209. Your help is appreciated. Thanks. - Shoaev __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
