Hi there,Where is the PROPVARIANT class located in the pythoncom library? The docs are not helpful about this:http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/PyPROPVARIANT.html <http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/PyPROPVARIANT.html>I've seen postings that use the propsys module but that one no longer contains the PROPVARIANT class unfortunately.
It is implemented in that module - see https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/blob/main/com/win32comext/propsys/src/PyPROPVARIANT.cpp.
I'm wondering if this class exists in a different package or if I can somehow recreate it?I need to write new properties to a file but using the WriteMultiple method will only let me write Strings with a prop variable id of 8 and I need them to show up as "Text" which has a prop variable id of 30.
30 == VT_LPSTR which isn't supported by pywin32 - but VT_LPWSTR (31) is - you can create such an object with something like:
>>> from win32com.propsys import propsys
>>> import pythoncom
>>> propsys.PROPVARIANTType("foo", pythoncom.VT_LPWSTR)
<PyPROPVARIANT object at 0x000001FAB01737A0>
The only way I understand how to do this is to wrap the values used in the WriteMultiple method in a PROPVARIANT class call, but I haven't be able to figure out where that class is called from.
Sorry, but I'm not familiar with using WriteMultiple and I suspect it will depends on what exactly is on the other end.
