Newbie here. I thought my question would have been a common one but I have
checked the archive for the last year and only found one message even close.
I'm attempting to use a OCX designed to talk with QuickBooks. I'm using
win32com for the first time and have discovered an issue that I'm sure others
have run into. But researching google etc. has not helped.
obj = win32com.client.Dispatch("InQB.Invoice.1")
#In the VB code
#obj.ItemName(0) = 'string'
#in python I'm trying
obj.ItemName[0] = 'string'
#error is "Instancemethod object does not support item assignment"
I found and ran makepy.py and here is the code it created dealing with my obj.
# The method ItemName is actually a property, but must be used as a method
to correctly pass the arguments
def ItemName(self, ItemIndex=defaultNamedNotOptArg):
"""Line item property: Reference to the kind of item."""
# Result is a Unicode object
return self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(19, LCID, 2, (8, 0),
((3,1),),ItemIndex )
As I read the above code it can only return a string not assign anything. I'm
not sure what "InvokeTypes" does. And "defaultNamedNotOptArg" does not sound
good.
Just for information the ItemName[0] is an array (I think not a Vb guy) of
items on a invoice. ItemName[0] would refer to the first line item on the
invoice and ItemName[1] the second and ...
So the question is how can I get around this issue? I'm sure others need to
set properties (arrays/list) in com objects.
Thanks in advance,
Johnf
