Hello,
I'm looking for some advice on how to correctly handle events using win32com.
If I take the example of a very simple Excel automation, I tested two things.
*
Code1 below use pythoncom.PumpMessages() but I don't know how to stop it when
the Excel is closing. I guess I should send a WM_QUIT message but I don't know
how.
*
Code2 below use a while loop on pythoncom.PumpWaitingMessages() but once I stop
the loop the COM server freeze as it is waiting for the messages it sends to be
processed before closing. I guess I should pump all the remaining messages but
I don't know how.
Maybe I should use a totally different approach.
Thanks a lot for your help.
G.
