Actually, if that's really what I typed, I made a mistake. It's win32gui, not win32ui. But why isnt there any documentation what the arguments are good for? In part, because these are simple mappings of Windows APIs. You can go to MSDN to get information on the actual parameters to EnumChildWindows in excruciating detail. In most cases, the mapping from the C API to the Python API is quite clear, and this is one such case. The C API gets a top-level window handle, a callback function, and a context parameter. That's exactly what the win32ui version wants. It would be a very large effort with a very small payback to retype all of the Windows API documentation in Python terms. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
[python-win32] WABAccess help ...
Greetings ...
Take two ... This time I think I found something a little better ...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wabaccess/
Another LGPL com lib to access Windows Address Book ... But this one
seems to work with Python ...
Okay, so I'm asking again, if anybody (maybe Roger again ... ) Could
help with a basic working example of how to get just something listing
out of the WAB ...
Spend a whole night, with the following code, but can only put stuff
into the WAB, not get a list of e-mail address ...
import win32com.client
objSession = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch(WABAccess.Session)
print objSession
objSession.Open(False)
if objSession.Identities.LastIdentity ==
{----}:
print No Identity Selected
else:
print The Identity +
objSession.Identities(objSession.Identities.LastIdentity).Name + is
selected
print objSession.Identities.DefaultIdentity
print objSession.Identities.Count
print objSession.Containers.Count
objContainer = objSession.Containers(1)
objMyContact=objContainer.Elements.NewContact( False, Clinton Taylor )
# FixMe, throught all the constant things would be import somehow ...
PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS = 0x3003001F
PR_BUSINESS_HOME_PAGE = 0x3A51001F

# objCityProperty = objMyContact.Properties.Add(

objMyContact.Properties.Add (PR_BUSINESS_HOME_PAGE, http://www.mysociety.com;)

objProperty = objMyContact.Properties.Add(PR_COMPANY_NAME, )
# Changing the company name property
objProperty.Value = My Society Name

You're missing some parens from the ShowDetails and Refresh lines.
With those in place, this code works for me (at least on XP, haven't
tried it on Vista yet)
