Well, I think I've found a workaround. The following hack seems to create something looking enough like a PyCDocument to keep it happy while creating a PyCView:
dummy = win32ui.CreateRichEditView().GetDocument() The result of this appears to be a PyCDocument that's wrapping a null pointer. The fact that CreateView accepts this suggests that there's really no need to supply a document at creation time as far as the C++ level is concerned. I can't find anything in the MS docs to say there's any such need. Looking at the source, you seem to be doing some very strange things. In the PyCView constructor, first you're hacking around protected members to stuff the CDocument pointer into the m_pDocument member. Then in CreateWindow you're taking it out again and putting it in the CCreateContext. I don't know why you can't just leave all this alone at creation time, or at least make the document argument optional, and expose the AddView method of CDocument as a way of setting the document afterwards. -- Greg _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
