Thanks, I got your example working but unfortunately the results didn't work good. Here's links to 2 pictures for comparison, sensitive information removed.

Let me give a little more background on the process. Our software generates reports as xml files that use xsl transformation. The xsl files are in a separate directory from the xml reports. The pink boxes in the bad picture are supposed to be bmp files from another directory. The xml references 1 xsl which in turn does includes on multiple xsl files. Lastly, the 'Page n of nn' is the page numbering system. Once the page loads in IE or FF a javascript function gets called to number the pages. Are my efforts futile? Or am I missing something simple? -Kyle Rickey -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Waldemar Osuch Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 3:26 PM To: python-win32@python.org Subject: Re: [python-win32] Dispatch InternetExplorer.Application fails > > 2) use some python libraries (libxml2, libxslt) to transform the xml to > html.

The example below will prompt you with the dialog but it should be possible to silence it somehow. Instead of Acrobat Printer I would use PDFCreator. It is free and one of the myriad options is to automatically save without prompting for a file name. For example: 8<---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- import wx from wx import html import lxml.etree as ET def get_reports(): xmlfile = 'report.xml' xslfile = 'style.xsl' for i in range(3): transform = ET.XSLT(ET.parse(xslfile)) result = transform(ET.parse(xmlfile)) yield ET.tostring(result) class MyFrame(wx.Frame): def __init__(self): wx.Frame.__init__(self, None) self.prn = html.HtmlEasyPrinting() but = wx.Button(self, label='Go') self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.PrintReports) def PrintReports(self, evt): for rpt in get_reports(): self.prn.PrintText(rpt) if __name__ == '__main__': app = wx.PySimpleApp() frame = MyFrame() frame.Show(True) app.MainLoop() _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
